THERMOSETTING can be heated and shaped ONCE THERMO can be heated an manipulated time and time again
Thermosetting plastics
thermo can be heated and manipulated unlited timed, but set can only be heated and manipulated once
three types of thermo plastics are POLYETHENE.....,POLYPROPYLENE........and.......POLYVINYL CHLORIDE(PVC)
because of the difference in physical characteristics of thermoplastics and metals, there are corresponding differences between welding techniques for metals and thermo-plastics. in the welding of metal, welding rod and parent material become molten and fuse into the required bond to form welded joints. this is not in thermo plastics, because they are poor heat conductors , they are difficult to heat uniformly .. so diifferent methods are used to weld plastics...
no
i am trying to find that out myself
thermo plastics
thermoset which can withstand higher temperatures in comparison to the other type thermo plastics
They are used for making plastic's but the plastics they make aren't biograble
The two types of plastics that start with thermo are thermoset plastic and thermoplastics plastic.hope that helps you! x
Examples of thermosetting plastics (or just thermosets) include amino, epoxy, and phenolic and unsaturated polyesters.
Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
