thermoplastic
thermosetting plastic becomes hard when heated and deteriorates by excessive cross linking and thermoplastic becomes soft and can be moulded into any shape.
Teflon is a thermoplastic.
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
The most familiar use of thermosetting plastic is the heat-resistant handle on metal cookware. It is also used for bottle caps, knobs and handles, and laminated counter tops. Thermosetting plastics retain their shape and strength even when heated.
Thermoplastics can be resoftened and remoulded several times,thermosetting can be heated and moulded only once into an irriversible shape.=)

The answer is thermoset :)
If it has the recycled number on the bottom (probably code 2 HDPE) it is definately thermoplastic. One characterisitics of thermoplastics is that they can melt and be remoulded whereas thermosetting plastics can not (they will char). Therefore, it logically follows that if it can be recycled it will be a thermoplastic polymer.
yes. it is a thermoplastic. it can be remoulded.
