Which one thermo plastic or thermo setting plastic becomes soft when heated?
thermoplastic
Can you re-use thermoplastic?
Basically there are two types of thermoplastic, thermoset and thermoform. Thermoset becomes hard when heated an example would be Bakelite. A thermoform plastic gets soft when heated and can be reformed. An example would be abs such as used in plastic pipe. Gil
Is PVC is a thermo setting plastic?
Thermo
Example of a thermo plastic?
an example of a thermoplastic woul be a plastic kettle
Is the plastic ruler thermo or thermo setting?
Thermoplastics can be shaped easily by being cooled and heated time and time again. They suffer little degration by the heating and cooling. They are solid at room temp. Thermoset on the other hand cannot be repeatedly heated and cooled. if you try to re heat they become chared and do not re soften.
Is polypropylene thermoplastic or thermo setting?
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material. This means it can be melted and reshaped multiple times without undergoing any significant chemical change. In contrast, thermosetting plastics, once cured, cannot be remelted or reshaped. Thus, polypropylene's properties allow for recycling and reprocessing.
What does the root word thermo mean?
The root word "thermo" relates to heat or temperature.
What has the author R D Wiles written?

What does thermo setting plastic mean?
a plastic that has aids :)
What is thermo setting?
thermosetting is atype of plastic which can't be recycled
Is ABS thermo or thermoset?
ABS is a thermoplastic material, not a thermosetting material. This means that ABS can be melted and remolded multiple times without degrading its properties, making it suitable for processes like injection molding.
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.
