Thermosetting plastics. Once cooled and hardened, these plastics retain their shapes and cannot return to their original form. Thermosetting plastics dont melt (i think) :)
Thermosetting and thermoplastic
Thermosetting
Better known as thermoplastic, its' plastic which goes soft when it's hot, and hard at normal temperature. most plastics around us are thermoplastics. you can heat them, up, change their shape, then let them cool down as many times as you want. thermosetting plastics on the other hand, start out as a resin, which you can heat up or melt then make into the desired shape, after that though, they can't be reshaped like thermoplastics can.
thermosetting material
yes wire coating is an example of thermosetting plastics!!!!
the opposite to thermosetting plastic is thermoplastic
Plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics.
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
mostly thermosetting plastics like bakelite

Thermosetting plastics
Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
By properties they are Thermosetting plastics and Thermoplastics

i think the answers you are looking for are thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics :)
