Thermosoftening plastics are plastics that when heated, the polymers turn into a gooey kind of material which can then be put into a mould of whatever shape you wish the plastic to be. when it sets, you have your shaped plastic. thermosoftening plastics can be reheated and remoulded whereas thermosetting plastics cant be as the polymers for them, once moulded, cannot go gooey again because they have stronger chains between the polymers.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find the melting point of plastic?
There are rtwo ypes of 'Plastic'. Thermosetting and Thermosoftening. Thermosetting if heated will just char (go black) Thermosoftening is heated will alter its shape. Different Thermosoftening plastics have different temperatures at which they soften. A Casual way to tell the difference is that thermosetting plastics are generally opaque, and thermosofteneing plastics a generally clear(see -through).
Does cottage cheese melt when heated"?
No, cottage cheese does not melt when heated. It may soften and release some liquid, but it does not melt like cheese.
What is an example of thermoset plastic?
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 type of plastic does not melt?
Thermosetting plastics. Once cooled and hardened, these plastics retain their shapes and cannot return to their original form. Thermosetting plastics dont melt (i think) :)
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.
Types of thermosoftening plastics?
Thermosoftening plastics soften and can be given any shape when hot. The different types thermosoftening plastics are Polyethylene, Polystyrene, Poly Vinyl Chloride, ABS plastics.
What is the difference between thermosoftening and thermosetting?
Thermosoftening is when the bonds between molecules in a plastic are weak so that the plastic can easily soften. Thermosetting is when the bonds are strong so that the plastic can only be softened once and when it is, that is the only time that you can shape it.
What are the advantages of thermosoftening?
Thermosoftening plastics can be easily molded and reshaped when heated, making them versatile for various applications. They are also generally cheaper to produce compared to thermosetting plastics. Additionally, thermosoftening plastics tend to have better impact resistance and toughness.

What are thermosettings and therosoftening polymers?
Polymers are plastic. Thermosoftening is hard when it is cold and flexible when it is warm. Thermosetting is flexible when cold and hard when hotThermosetting plastics are polymers that, once heated, melted and moulded, cannot be re-moulded as the bond between their molecules are too strong. Thermosoftening plastics are polymers which can be re-moulded many times as the bonds between the molecules are very weak. Thermosetting plastics can only be shaped once. Thermosoftening plastics can be shaped and re-shaped many times. :) hope this is helpful x
What type of plastic does not become soft when heated?
None- ALL plastics soften on heating. Even stone and rock (think volcano) will soften on heating.
What is high frequency welding?
High frequency welding is a process where plastics such as PVC are heated with high frequency waves. This is to soften the plastics for easier molding.
What holds together thermosoftening plastics?
Thermosoftening plastics are held together by weak intermolecular forces that allow the polymer chains to slide past each other, making the material soft and malleable. When heated, these forces weaken further, allowing the polymer chains to move more freely, resulting in the plastic becoming molten and easily molded into different shapes.
What is the opposite of thermosoftening?
Thermosetting, these plastics are rigid, resistant to higher temperatures compared with thermoplastics and once set, a thermosetting plastic cannot be remoulded.
Can you use lacquer paint on plastic?
No, most plastics will soften and wrinkle.
Differences between thermo plastics and thermotesting plastics?
THERMOSETTING can be heated and shaped ONCE THERMO can be heated an manipulated time and time again
What is the difference between thermo plastics and set plastics?
thermo can be heated and manipulated unlited timed, but set can only be heated and manipulated once
