Look at the table showing the physical properties and costs of four different polymers:

PolymerCost (# per kg)Tensile strength (MPa)Melting point (∘C^{\circ}\text{C}∘C)Maximum useable temperature (∘C^{\circ}\text{C}∘C)
W1.1528150110
X2.4065280220
Y1.4545260210
Z0.952013595

Which polymer would be the most suitable and cost-effective choice for manufacturing cooking spatulas that must withstand temperatures up to 180∘C180^{\circ}\text{C}180∘C?
