What type of plastic is used to make raincoats?
thermosetting plastics
What is made out of 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.
What are hacksaws used for?
Cutting metal or plastics.
What is the difference between thermosetting and thermoplastic cable?
The terms are used to categorise cable insulation according to its properties, such as its operating temperature, rather than the ingredients from which it is are made.These terms are now used by the IEE Wiring Regulations to describe insulation formerly described, for example, as 'pvc' (a 'thermoplastic' material) or rubber ( a 'thermosetting' material).
Can farmers grow plastics in their fields?
Kind of. Farmers can grow things like corn and soybeans, both of which can be used to make plastics.
What type of plastic is used to make raincoats?
thermosetting plastics
Why cant thermosetting be recycled?
Thermosetting plastics can not be recycled because they can not be reformed or re moulded

What are the uses of thermosetting plastics?
They used as insulators, and body of vehicles, home appliances etc.
What are some examples for thermosetting plastics which are used in electric sockets?
A wellknown example is bakelite.
What plastic is used for saucepans?
Thermosetting plastics such as polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride better know as 'Bakelite' and some others.

why is plastic so important to the world?
Plastic is important to the modern world because of its basic properties -- malleability and versatility. Plastics are usually made from organic polymers, and are used to make myriad products, including DVDs, milk bottles, eating utensils, toys, dildos, Tupperware, chairs, condoms, and many more products. Of course, a wide range of different plastics can be made; some plastics -- called thermosetting polymers -- cannot be deformed after being cooled. Nevertheless, commodity plastics can be produced in bulk, and are used to make a wide range of products that serve purposes in every aspect of our lives.
What can you make out of non thermoplastic?
Many things are made out of "Non Thermoplastics", which are called Thermosetting Polymers. Basically there are two kinds of Plastics: Thermoplastic, which are heated and injected under pressure into molds to create new items. These are plastics that get soft when heated. And Thermosetting Polymers that are resins that are either combined with a substrate or used alone, then poured into a mold, then subjected to heat and pressure to create items or sheets. These are plastics that get hard when heated. Things that are made from Thermosetting Polymers (Non thermoplastic): sheets of fiberglass and phenolic out of which circuit board found in computers are made from, knobs, wheels, etc.
