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) :)


Is acetate a thermosetting plastic?

No, acetate is not a thermosetting plastic. It is a type of thermoplastic that can be heated and molded into various shapes before cooling and hardening. Thermosetting plastics, on the other hand, undergo a chemical change when heated and cannot be reshaped once they have hardened.


Name two plastic groups related to heat and moulding plastics?

Two common plastic groups used for heat and moulding plastics are thermoplastics, which can be melted and remoulded multiple times through heating and cooling processes, and thermosetting plastics, which undergo a chemical change during moulding and cannot be remelted or reshaped after the initial moulding process.


Is formica a thermosetting plastic?

Yes, Formica is a type of thermosetting plastic. Thermosetting plastics are materials that undergo a chemical reaction to form a rigid structure that cannot be softened or reshaped by heat once it has cured. Formica is commonly used as a laminate material for countertops and other surfaces.


Is teflon a thermosetting plastic?

No, Teflon is not a thermosetting plastic. Teflon is a polymer that exhibits thermoplastic behavior, meaning it can be melted and reformed multiple times without undergoing significant chemical change. Thermosetting plastics, on the other hand, undergo a chemical reaction during the curing process that irreversibly hardens them.
