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.
A polymer that does not soften when heated is called a "thermosetting" polymer.
(plastic is a word that means flexible with a viscoelastic flow)
Examples include Baekelite, and Melamine-formaldehyde.
Usually the polymerization reaction is carried out to about 50-60% completion to form a viscous resin. This is then moulded and heated to complete the polymerization. The final structure is heavily cross-linked and quite rigid.
the answer would be thermoplastics
Thermoplastics keep their plastic properties: They melt when heated, then... are easy to recycle since they can be melted and reshaped into other products.
I don't know ask someone else I'm sleeping.
A Thermoplastic
Thermoplastics
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
Used glass can be melted down and reshaped to create a new product, such as bottles or jars.
Sulfur is melted.
Ammonia is not a cleaner we'd choose to remove plastic from surfaces. It (ammonia) won't dissolve or "melt" the plastic, so it is ineffective in removing melted plastic from surfaces.
Melted plastic is generally non-toxic and usually a pain to remove. It is generally disposed of as trash, as it cannot really be re-used. If it's hot, it is hazardous as it can burn you and tends to stick to skin and materials. In that light, it is dangerous. Melted plastic is the material used in injection molding. That melted plastic is not "bad" as it is being used for a purpose (the manufacture of goods).
It may be melted and reshaped.
i think its a thermoplastic I'm not too shore but when its heated it melts so yeah i guess so :)
Because it can be melted down , also it can be re-used as it can be reshaped.
Plastic is melted by applying thermal energy -- heat. Plastic "bits" are dumped into a hopper, and a screw type feed mechanism forces them through a heated section of the screw housing. Resistance heating elements are used, and they convert electricity to heat energy to melt the plastic. The temperature is controlled by electronics, and run appropriately for the type of plastic being melted. This melted plastic is then forced out the end into molds in a process called injection molding.

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
he melted
Used glass can be melted down and reshaped to create a new product, such as bottles or jars.
The most familiar use of thermosetting plastic is the heat-resistant handle on metal cookware. It is also used for bottle caps, knobs and handles, and laminated counter tops. Thermosetting plastics retain their shape and strength even when heated.
yes as it is plastic
Yes, melted plastic can hurt you. The primary danger is from a burn. Melted plastic is hot, and it tends to stick to skin and clothing. It is exceptionally dangerous stuff in that regard.
Plastic is always going to be plastic. When plastic is melted it becomes hard.
