Can regrind thermoplastic and thermosetting why?

Technically, A thermoset cannot be reused since it forms a structure that does not remelt easily and remelting this material can result in degradation and molecular weight changes. A thermoplastic however can be reused when mixed with a percentage of virgin material. This is the large benefit of utilizing a thermoplastic over a thermoset.


What is the difference between thermo plastic and thermo setting plastic?

ThermoplastIc materials (such as polyethylene, nylon, etc ) are melt-processable, meaning that they can be heated to a melt (liquid) phase, forced into a mold, and then cooled to form a pre-determined shape. Typical processes include injection molding, compression molding, and blow molding. Thermoplastic materials can, many times, be potentially ground up and re-processed many times as there is no chemical reaction that occurs. Thermoset materials (such as epoxy, and some polyesters), on the other hand, undergo a chemical reaction and cross-linking of the polymer chains and can not be can't be ground up and re-processed.

Why the plastic handle used in the pressure cooker doesn't melt?

there are two types of Plastics. the Thermoset and the Thermoplast. these Plastics all Melt, but @ different temperatures. the Thermoplast melts easily and can be recycled, while the thermoset has a property that makes it difficult to melt @ the temperature of the cooker that is being heated.this therefore explains why the Plastice does not melt because its thermoset Plastic and It has a higher temperature
