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 are the two main plastics?
thermosettings and thermoplastics. A thermoplastic can be remelted and reused, a thermoset cannot.
What are the adventage of thermoplastic material?
The main advantage of thermoplastic material is that it can be heated up, molded and then cooled again with no changes to the overall properties of the material (like it getting weaker and falling apart, for instance). Thermoplastics can be re-heated and re-molded as well, which is in contrast to thermosetting materials which can be heated and molded once but then not reset.
Can you name 10 different facts about thermoplastics?
* acrylonite butodine styrene * acrylic * celluloid * cellulose acetate * ethylene-vinyl acetate * styrene-acrylonitrile * polyvinylidene chloride * polyvinyl chloride * polyvinyl acetate * polyurethane
What are the names of the two main gropes of plastics?
By properties they are Thermosetting plastics and Thermoplastics
Is polyesters thermoplastic?
Polyesters are a group of organic polymers that contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Polyesters can be either thermoplastic or thermoset, depending on the rest of their structure, but the most common polyesters are thermoplastic.
What is the main difference between thermosetting plastic and thermoplastic?
thermosetting plastic becomes hard when heated and deteriorates by excessive cross linking and thermoplastic becomes soft and can be moulded into any shape.
What is the main advantage of using a web query to get information?
The main advantage is that you can get an answer quickly.
What is the main advantage of it?
You are not specific enough. The main advantage of what? It does not make any sense.
What are the similarities between thermo plastic and thermosetting plastic?
There are a few differences between the two. Thermoplastics usually contain additives to change the properties of the material such as polypropylene. Thermosets usually contain catalysts that change the state of the material at the molecular level. The main difference between thermoplastics and thermosets is that: -Thermoplastics can be re-melted and recycled fairly easily -Thermosets typically are cured and molded into shape and are not recycled as easily
