Any plastic that if you put a flame to it , it will char/ burn/go black.
NB A thermosoftening plastic is one , if heted, will just change shape.
As a 'rule of thumb' opaque plastics are thermosetting; clear plastics are thermosoftening.
What else can I help you with?
Is urea formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
Thermosetting
Is urea-formaldehyde thermoset or thermoplastic?
Urea-formaldehyde is a thermoset plastic. Once it is cured, it undergoes a chemical reaction that permanently sets its shape, making it hard and durable. Thermoset plastics cannot be reshaped or melted once they are formed.
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 Cellophane thermoset or thermoplastic?
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
What plastic can only be heated once?
Thermosetting resins are plastics that are usually heated and have plastic properties during the moulding process, but on cooling forms complex cross linking , and cannot be remelted or reshaped by re-heating.Examples are Bakelite(phenol-formaldehyde resins) and urea-formaldehyde resins used in electrical swithes, etc. Plastics which can be re-shaped with heat are called thermoplastics. Examples are polyethylene,polyvinyl chloride(PVC) ,polystyrene and nylon.They basically consist of long chain molecules coiled around each other, without cross-linking.
Can you show thermo plastic and thermoset plastics?
no
Is melamine thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic?
The answer is thermoset :)
Can you re-use thermoplastic?
Basically there are two types of thermoplastic, thermoset and thermoform. Thermoset becomes hard when heated an example would be Bakelite. A thermoform plastic gets soft when heated and can be reformed. An example would be abs such as used in plastic pipe. Gil
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.
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 :)

What type of plastic is a kettle made from?
Most plastic do not conduct heat very well, This makes it ideal for handles on pans which makes it Thermoset.
What are the two types of plastic that start with thermo?
The two types of plastics that start with thermo are thermoset plastic and thermoplastics plastic.hope that helps you! x
Is high impact polystyrene a thermoplastic or a thermosetting plastic?
It is a thermoplastic! :)
Is thermoplastic or thermoset plastic HIPS?
thermoplastic
Why can't thermoset plastics change shape?
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.
