thermosetting plastics would be used for recyclable things such as cans and plastics as they can be cleaned and re-moulded. These are used in times like today when global warming is affecting people and animals more than we think

∙ 14y agoThermosetting polymers are an irreversible cross-linked polymer (plastic) used when the properties such as strength of a thermoplastic type polymer are inadequate for the desired application. Some examples of thermoset polymers include: Bakelite (one of the first industrially produced plastics), vulcanized rubber (such as that used in tires), and polyester fiberglass.

What does thermosetting plastic mean?
the structure of thermosetting plastics are Ø Thermoplastics have long chains which are tangled together in no formal pattern Ø They have very few cross links which means that when heated they become soft allowing them to bent, pressed and formed into different shapes. Ø They become stiff as they cool
What are Elastomer plastic?
A material which at room temperature can be stretched repeatedly to at least twice its original length and, upon immediate release of stress, will return with force to its approximate original length. www.terracontanks.com/nav/cm.aspx
What are cfcs used for?
Its used in the compressors of refrigerators and air- conditioners
What is Crocoite used for?
Crocoite is mainly used as a mineral specimen. It used to be used as a minor ore of chromium, but it is now too rare to be used for that.It is on wikipedia too
What is the use of acetal?
dilute ethanoic acid is used as a preservative in the preparation of pickles.it is used for making cellulose acetate which is an important artificial fibre.it is used in the manufacture of acetone and esters used in perfumes.it is used in the preparation of dyes.it is used to coaggulate rubber from latex.it is used for making white lead which is used as a white paint.it is used as a chemical reagent in chemistry lab.
Do thermosets melt reversibly?
Curing of a thermosetting polymer is irreversible.
What sorts of plastic are there?
There are two types of plastics: thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastics, if exposed to enough heat, will melt. Thermosets will keep their shape until they are charred and burnt. Some examples of thermoplastics are grocery bags, piano keys and some automobile parts. Examples of thermosets are children's dinner sets and circuit boards.
How do you make a plastic?
depends which kind of plastic......e.g. we have thermoplastics and thermosets.
Which roof covering system includes vulcanized thermosets?
Single-Ply
What are TPEs?
In addition to thermosets, the specialty category also encompasses a relatively new category of rubbers called thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). TPEs are often more economical to produce and easier to process than are thermosets.
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
Are there different types of platic molding, and if so, what type is the strongest?
Plastics are available in two basic types: thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermoplastics are meltable, but thermosets are not. This is due to the types of polymers in the plastic. Because a thermoset type of plastic consists of three-dimensional chains of polymers they are stronger than a one-dimensional thermoplastic.
What objects are made out of thermo plastics?
Examples of thermosetting plastics (or just thermosets) include amino, epoxy, and phenolic and unsaturated polyesters.
Can we substitute thermosetting plastics with thermo plastics?
Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
What two families of plastic are there?
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
What has the author Marinos Xanthos written?
Marinos Xanthos has written: 'High aspect ratio mica reinforced thermosets' -- subject(s): Reinforced plastics, Thermosetting plastics, Mica
What are some examples of thermo setting plastic?
A thermosetting plastic, in contrast, can be melted and shaped only once. If it is then heated a second time, it tends to crack or disintegrate. Examples of thermosetting plastics (or just thermosets) include amino, epoxy, and phenolic and unsaturated polyesters.
