Acetal is a commonly used name for a family of thermoplastics. Its chemical name is PolyoxyMethylene.Another commonly used name for thermoplastics is Hotmelt.
because they melt... read thermoplastics very slowly
thermo plastic is used in gloves Lego and helmlets
because poo is poo and wee is wee
Because it can be melted down , also it can be re-used as it can be reshaped.
it is used for making toys it is an example of thermoplastics
Very true.
Kayaks can be made out of thermoplastics, a company called delta makes a bunch.
thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics thermoplastics go soft when exposed to heat thermosetting plastics set (harden) when exposed to heat only thermoplastics are recyclable
Thermoplastics are plastics that can be melted and recycled. Thermoplastics are used for many objects such as bottles, bags, records, hoses, clothes, containers, etc. There are a variety of different types thermoplastics and can have many different qualities to combat the environment. They are different from "thermosetting" plastics in this way.Thermosetting plastics are typically heated and compressed in a mold to achieve a desired shape or mixed from a resin and a hardener as used for composite material. When they are in contact with high temperatures they burn instead of melt, which is why they cannot be recycled. They are generally used for kitchen utensils like a spatula but are often used for telephones, computers etc.Thermoplastics:ABSVinylPETEPPPEHDPEPolyesterPSThermosetting plastics:Vulcanized rubberBakeliteDuroplastUrea-formaldehydeMelamine resinEpoxy resinPolyimides
Thermoplastics are used for packaging because they can be softened and reshaped as many times as the material can take. This is good, because then they can be recycled and the plastic can be used again. Thermosetting plastics however, can only be shaped once, as the polymers bond together and are inseparable. This would mean for every piece of packaging more plastic would have to be made, which would be very bad environmentally, as a lot of crude oil and other resources would need to be used up. This cannot be sustained, therefore, thermoplastics are used instead.
Thermoplastics are polymers that can be molded above a certain temperature. They are needed to manufacture such plastics as acrylic, nylon and polystyrene.
