Yes.
The solid form of all materials will expand when heated.
In general, if melted, the solid chunks should sink with the liquid being a lower density than the solid. However, it would depend on the form of plastic. Foam is essentially a low density plastic in which the liquid would be of greater density than the solid.

Can obsidian be melted and reshaped into different forms?
Yes, obsidian can be melted and reshaped into different forms due to its glass-like properties.
What is the opposite to thermoplastic?
The opposite of thermoplastic is thermosetting. Unlike thermoplastics, thermosetting materials irreversibly harden when heated, forming a rigid structure that cannot be melted or reshaped.
Is HIPS plastic thermosetting?
No, HIPS (High-Impact Polystyrene) is a thermoplastic, not a thermosetting plastic. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped multiple times, while thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical reaction during curing that makes them rigid and non-meltable.
Is acetate a thermosetting plastic?
No, acetate is not a thermosetting plastic. It is a type of thermoplastic that can be heated and molded into various shapes before cooling and hardening. Thermosetting plastics, on the other hand, undergo a chemical change when heated and cannot be reshaped once they have hardened.
Is Teflon thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic?
Teflon is a thermoplastic material. This means that it can be melted and reshaped multiple times without undergoing any chemical change.
What types of plastics can be melted and molded?
Thermoplastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, can be melted and molded because they can be reshaped multiple times when heated.
Can you melt plastic and remold it into a new shape?
Yes, plastic can be melted and reshaped into a new form through a process called plastic molding.
Is copper a thermosetting plastic?
No, copper is a metal and not a thermosetting plastic. Thermosetting plastics are a type of polymer that, once cured, cannot be melted or reshaped due to the crosslinking of their molecular structure. Copper, on the other hand, is a malleable metal that can be melted and reshaped.
What is Thermal setting plastic?
Thermal setting plastic is a type of plastic that can be permanently shaped and hardened through the application of heat. Once heated and formed into a desired shape, thermal setting plastics cannot be reshaped again, unlike thermoplastics which can be melted and reshaped multiple times. Examples of thermal setting plastics include epoxy resins and phenolic resins.
What is the difference between thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic?
A Thermoplastic can be reshaped when reheated, like bowls wheras and thermosetting plastic are bonded permanently when heated and set hard as they cool like plugs etchope this helps you :)A Thermoplastic can be re-shaped when re-heated, like bowls where as thermosetting plastics are bonded permanently when heated and set hard as they cool. Examples include telephone cases, transferred teeth etc.1. A thermoplatic material is softened by heating but the process is reversible.2. In the case of thermosetting materials the process is not reversible.thermosetting plastic can be reused by melting but thermoplastic can not
Can obsidian be melted and reshaped into different forms?
Yes, obsidian can be melted and reshaped into different forms due to its glass-like properties.
How do you reuse silver?
It may be melted and reshaped.

Is Teflon thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic?
Teflon is a thermoplastic material. This means that it can be melted and reshaped multiple times without undergoing any chemical change.
Why are thermo plastic and thermosetting plastic different?
Thermoplastics plastics can be heated and then moulded into a shape or form, but thermosetting cannot. Each plastic can be moulded into a 'shape or form', it is just that thermoplastics, once they have been moulded, they can be re-heated and moulded again, where-as once thermosetting plastics have been moulded, if re-heated and you try to remould it, it will just make it brittle and snap instead.
