VCT final material is described as glass-like. Which statement best describes it?

• A. It is flexible
• B. It is porous
• C. It is glass-like and abrasion resistant
• D. It corrodes easily

Answer: (C)

VCT refers to vitrified ceramic tile, which uses a glass-like glaze on a dense, vitrified body. That glass-like glaze creates a hard, smooth, nonporous surface, and the overall dense structure provides excellent abrasion resistance. So the material can stand up to wear and chemical exposure without scratching or pitting easily. It isn’t flexible and it doesn’t corrode easily, and its glazing makes it nonporous rather than porous. The best description is that it is glass-like and abrasion resistant.
