It is a thermosetting plastic as it can be heated and moulded into a particular shape once but if you attempt to reheat it, it shall burn and disintegrate.

Is the plastic ruler thermo or thermo setting?
Thermoplastics can be shaped easily by being cooled and heated time and time again. They suffer little degration by the heating and cooling. They are solid at room temp. Thermoset on the other hand cannot be repeatedly heated and cooled. if you try to re heat they become chared and do not re soften.
Is urea formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
Thermosetting
Is Cellophane thermoset or thermoplastic?
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
Is urea-formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
thermosetting
Is low density polythene thermoplastic or thermoset?
Polythene (regardless of density) is a thermoplastic.
Can you show thermo plastic and thermoset plastics?
no
Can you re-use thermoplastic?
Basically there are two types of thermoplastic, thermoset and thermoform. Thermoset becomes hard when heated an example would be Bakelite. A thermoform plastic gets soft when heated and can be reformed. An example would be abs such as used in plastic pipe. Gil
What are the two types of plastic that start with thermo?
The two types of plastics that start with thermo are thermoset plastic and thermoplastics plastic.hope that helps you! x
Two types of plastics?
thermoset which can withstand higher temperatures in comparison to the other type thermo plastics

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.
Is urea formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
Thermosetting
Is UHMW a thermoset plastic?
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.
How does thermoplastic material differ from a thermosetting material?
Thermoplastic and thermoset materials both fall under the broad category of Polymers. The biggest difference between a thermoplastic and thermoset is that a thermoplastic can be recycled. Whereas a thermoset irreversibly cure. Thermoplastic: PE, PP, PVC. Thermoset: Bakelite, Epoxy.
Is Cellophane thermoset or thermoplastic?
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
What is TPE plastic?
TPE stands for Thermo Plastic Elastomer. It is a range of polymers (plastics) that can be processed (moulded or extruded) like a plastic when over their melt temperature, but exhibit properties of thermoset rubber. the advantage to using TPE over thermoset rubber, is that it can be easily re-moulded and re-worked whereas rubber cannot. TPE can be soft, stretchy, and flexible, or hard and rigid depending on the mixture of crystalline and amorphous polymers used.
Is phenolic thermosetting or thermoplastic?
Thermoset
