How do you find the melting point of plastic?

Answer 1

There are rtwo ypes of 'Plastic'.

Thermosetting and Thermosoftening.

Thermosetting if heated will just char (go black)

Thermosoftening is heated will alter its shape. Different Thermosoftening plastics have different temperatures at which they soften.

A Casual way to tell the difference is that thermosetting plastics are generally opaque, and thermosofteneing plastics a generally clear(see -through).

Answer 2

To find the melting point of a plastic, you typically refer to the material's technical data sheet from the manufacturer. The melting point can also be determined experimentally using techniques like differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) or thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Answer 3

by melting it
