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

Is low density polythene thermoplastic or thermoset?
Polythene (regardless of density) is a thermoplastic.
Is urea formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
Thermosetting
Is urea-formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
thermosetting
Is ABS thermo or thermoset?
It is a thermosetting plastic as it can be heated and moulded into a particular shape once but if you attempt to reheat it, it shall burn and disintegrate.
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.
Is thermoplastic or thermoset plastic HIPS?
thermoplastic
How does thermoplastic material differ from a thermosetting material?
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.
Is phenolic thermosetting or thermoplastic?
Thermoset
Is low density polythene thermoplastic or thermoset?
Polythene (regardless of density) is a thermoplastic.
Is melamine thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic?
The answer is thermoset :)
Is urea formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
Thermosetting
Is urea-formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
thermosetting
Is high impact polystyrene a thermoplastic or a thermosetting plastic?
It is a thermoplastic! :)
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 Neoprene a Thermoplastic Elastomer?
No. Elastomer = possesses elasticity. As with most rubbers, neoprene is an elastomer. Thermoplastic = can be melted and re-formed. Neoprene is a thermoset material, which means that it will chemically degrade instead of melting.
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.
Can regrind thermoplastic and thermosetting why?
Technically, A thermoset cannot be reused since it forms a structure that does not remelt easily and remelting this material can result in degradation and molecular weight changes. A thermoplastic however can be reused when mixed with a percentage of virgin material. This is the large benefit of utilizing a thermoplastic over a thermoset.
