Thermosetting plastics are used for resin and Bakelite, among other things. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosetting_plastic#Examples
thermosetting is a process used to harden the plastic material during its production
pls specify some examples??
i think it can be used for thermoset moulding and electro-chemical ethching. by okiemute ohwahwa from nigeria.
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.
Thermoplastic and thermoset materials both fall under the broad category of Polymers. The biggest difference between a thermoplastic and thermoset is that a thermoplastic can be recycled. Whereas a thermoset irreversibly cure. Thermoplastic: PE, PP, PVC. Thermoset: Bakelite, Epoxy.

A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
there are two types of Plastics. the Thermoset and the Thermoplast. these Plastics all Melt, but @ different temperatures. the Thermoplast melts easily and can be recycled, while the thermoset has a property that makes it difficult to melt @ the temperature of the cooker that is being heated.this therefore explains why the Plastice does not melt because its thermoset Plastic and It has a higher temperature

Thermoset
Powder coating is commonly used on metals to give a smooth finish. The materials used in it include thermoplastic or thermoset polymers.
no
The answer is thermoset :)
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.
