What don't melt?
Thermosetting plastics. Once cooled and hardened, these plastics retain their shapes and cannot return to their original form. Thermosetting plastics dont melt (i think) :)
What type of plastic does not melt?

Will a toilet melt in a fire?
It depends what it's made of. Normal ceramic is unlikely to melt but would probably crack. Steel might melt in an extremely hot fire. Plastics would melt.
What plastics cannot absorb heat?
All material substances, including plastics of every type, can absorb heat to a greater or lesser degree (the measurement of heat absorbing ability is officially known as heat capacity). There are plastics that will melt if you heat them, but they still absorb heat, even as they melt.
What are advantages of thermoplastic?
Thermoplastic plastics melt when heated and therefore can be easily molded and recycled. In comparison, Thermoset plastics utilize a chemical reaction to cure and irreversibly set.
How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.
Are softer plastics easier to melt then hard plastics?
Usually thicker plastic takes longer to melt, but it's not necessarily "harder". Also keep in mind, melting plastic in a confined place will cause you to breathe in toxic fumes, so make sure to do it outside or with the windows open.
Should you put a paper cover or a plastic wrap cover in mircowave?
Probably paper. Some plastics melt.
What happens if you burn a plastic army soldier?
It melts and releases toxins into the air, as all plastics do when they melt and burn.
What is meant by polythene is a thermo plastic?
Thermoplastics become less viscous or melt when heated. such plastics may be recycled that means may be moulded into another shape on melting. Thermoset plastics do not - for instance melamine.
Pvc is a thermoplastic give the main advantage of thermoplastics?
Thermoplastic plastics melt when heated and therefore can be easily molded and recycled. In comparison, Thermoset plastics utilize a chemical reaction to cure and irreversibly set.
What melts glue?
Different solvents will melt different glues. No single item is good for everything. Acetone will melt more glues than most solvents, but is also corrosive to many plastics.
