i think its a thermoplastic I'm not too shore but when its heated it melts so yeah i guess so :)
It is a Thermoset because it cannot be reshaped after it has been heated to solidify.
It is possible, but beakers made from plastic are usually thermoplastic rather than thermoset.
thermosetting
The most familiar use of thermosetting plastic is the heat-resistant handle on metal cookware. It is also used for bottle caps, knobs and handles, and laminated counter tops. Thermosetting plastics retain their shape and strength even when heated.
Technically, A thermoset cannot be reused since it forms a structure that does not remelt easily and remelting this material can result in degradation and molecular weight changes. A thermoplastic however can be reused when mixed with a percentage of virgin material. This is the large benefit of utilizing a thermoplastic over a thermoset.
ThermoplastIc materials (such as polyethylene, nylon, etc ) are melt-processable, meaning that they can be heated to a melt (liquid) phase, forced into a mold, and then cooled to form a pre-determined shape. Typical processes include injection molding, compression molding, and blow molding. Thermoplastic materials can, many times, be potentially ground up and re-processed many times as there is no chemical reaction that occurs. Thermoset materials (such as epoxy, and some polyesters), on the other hand, undergo a chemical reaction and cross-linking of the polymer chains and can not be can't be ground up and re-processed.
It's got to do with science
Most plastic bottles are a mix of new and recycled plastic.
that depends on the thermoset plastic. some are cheaper then others. Determine the thermoset you need then there are a few plastic wholesalers who can narrow down the cost for you.
no
The answer is thermoset :)
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
UHMW stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight. Now it depends what the monomer is. UHMWPE would be thermoplastic not thermoset. But other UHMW polymers can be thermoset. It depends.
thermoplastic
Thermoset plastic is what valve covers are made of. Sometimes they are made of metal, but normally it is plastic.
It is a plastic that cant be heted again after is been heated and been put in a shape.
Examples are Bakelite, Vulcanlized rubber and expony resing
there are two types of Plastics. the Thermoset and the Thermoplast. these Plastics all Melt, but @ different temperatures. the Thermoplast melts easily and can be recycled, while the thermoset has a property that makes it difficult to melt @ the temperature of the cooker that is being heated.this therefore explains why the Plastice does not melt because its thermoset Plastic and It has a higher temperature
The two types of plastics that start with thermo are thermoset plastic and thermoplastics plastic.hope that helps you! x
Most plastic do not conduct heat very well, This makes it ideal for handles on pans which makes it Thermoset.
