The melting point of thermoplastics depends on the particular type of thermoplastics. The melting point varies from 160 Degrees Celsius to 350 Degrees Celsius for engineering thermoplastics. When it comes to high temperature thermoplastics, the melting point varies from 3593 to 4010 Degrees Celsius.

∙ 15y agoThe melting point of thermoplastics varies greatly from material to material and will even very somewhat within that material group. Some materials will melt to a flowable consistency at 150 degrees (F) while high temp resins will remain solid at 500 degrees (F) and above. The manufacturers specification sheet for a particular material will list the melt index and working temperatures for that material.

∙ 15y agoThermosets have very high melting points due to vulcanization and cross-linked molecules. Most thermosets have melting points over 200°C.

How do you find the melting point of plastic?
by melting it
Is Cellophane thermoset or thermoplastic?
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
What are the methods of preparation of Thermoplastics and Thermoset plastics?
Thermoplastic operations involve blowing a heated plastic into a mold. The end product is hollow. Thermoset plastics are sheets of plastic heated and place over two parts of a mold that come together. The end result is not hollow.
Which term is defined as the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state?
melting point
What is the melting point of perespex?
According to Wikipedia.....The melting point of acrylic glass is 160 °C (320 °F)I believe it's spelled PERSPEX and it's atransparent plastic sometimes called acrylic glass.

What is the cost of Thermosetting plastic?
that depends on the thermoset plastic. some are cheaper then others. Determine the thermoset you need then there are a few plastic wholesalers who can narrow down the cost for you.
Is melamine thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic?
The answer is thermoset :)
Can you show thermo plastic and thermoset plastics?
no
Abs plastic melting point?

Does polythene have a high or a low melting point for a plastic?
Tungsten is a metal with a particularly high melting point (which has made it suitable for use as a filament in incandescent bulbs); ionic compounds such as granite have high melting points. Ceramics have high melting points.
Is UHMW a thermoset plastic?
UHMW stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight. Now it depends what the monomer is. UHMWPE would be thermoplastic not thermoset. But other UHMW polymers can be thermoset. It depends.
What has the lowest melting point water timber or plastic?
Timber
Is a plastic beaker a thermoset?
i think its a thermoplastic I'm not too shore but when its heated it melts so yeah i guess so :)
Is thermoplastic or thermoset plastic HIPS?
thermoplastic
What is meant by polythene is a thermo plastic?
Thermoplastics become less viscous or melt when heated. such plastics may be recycled that means may be moulded into another shape on melting. Thermoset plastics do not - for instance melamine.
