Formica is made from a variety of high-pressure laminated plastic sheets of synthetic resin. It is used as a heat-resistant and chemical-resistant surface on tables and counters. The trademark Formica sometimes occurs in print in attributive uses: "The restaurant was dimly lit, with plain Formica tables and cushioned booths" (Chicago Tribune).
