Though it's attractive to suppose that Formica© has something to do with ants, t'aint so.

http://www.formica-europe.com/main_com.htm: Formica was invented in Cincinnati in 1913 by two young men, Herbert Faber and Daniel O'Connor. It was intended to serve as an electrical insulator and was created as a replacement for Mica, which was used for that purpose at the time. Hence the name 'for mica'.
