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.
no
Thermoset plastics cannot change shape because they undergo a irreversible chemical reaction during the curing process. This reaction, known as crosslinking, creates strong bonds between the polymer chains, making the material rigid and inflexible. Once set, thermoset plastics cannot be melted or reshaped like thermoplastics.
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.
TPE stands for Thermo Plastic Elastomer. It is a range of polymers (plastics) that can be processed (moulded or extruded) like a plastic when over their melt temperature, but exhibit properties of thermoset rubber. the advantage to using TPE over thermoset rubber, is that it can be easily re-moulded and re-worked whereas rubber cannot. TPE can be soft, stretchy, and flexible, or hard and rigid depending on the mixture of crystalline and amorphous polymers used.

no
The answer is thermoset :)

A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.

i think its a thermoplastic I'm not too shore but when its heated it melts so yeah i guess so :)
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic

thermoplastic
Thermoset plastic is what valve covers are made of. Sometimes they are made of metal, but normally it is plastic.
It is a plastic that cant be heted again after is been heated and been put in a shape.
