Acrylic (cold cure)______________?
Correct answer: D. Produces heat during polymerization
- A. Melts at 100°C
- B. Softens at 100°C
- C. Still requires heat for polymerization
- D. Produces heat during polymerization
Explanation
Cold-cure acrylic polymerizes by a chemical initiator-activator system, but the reaction is still exothermic and releases heat. It does not melt at 100°C or require an external heat cycle for polymerization.
