Are milk bottles thermoplasic or thermosetting plastic?
If it has the recycled number on the bottom (probably code 2 HDPE) it is definately thermoplastic. One characterisitics of thermoplastics is that they can melt and be remoulded whereas thermosetting plastics can not (they will char). Therefore, it logically follows that if it can be recycled it will be a thermoplastic polymer.
What are advantages of thermoplastic?
Thermoplastic plastics melt when heated and therefore can be easily molded and recycled. In comparison, Thermoset plastics utilize a chemical reaction to cure and irreversibly set.
Pvc is a thermoplastic give the main advantage of thermoplastics?
Thermoplastic plastics melt when heated and therefore can be easily molded and recycled. In comparison, Thermoset plastics utilize a chemical reaction to cure and irreversibly set.
What is a commonly known plastic which you use in your household?
There are 2 types of plastics:- i)thermoplastic ii)thermosetting plastic the one you use in your houshold is thermoplastic which is like mugs ,buckets,etc. switchboard,outerpart of wires,etc are thermosettingplastics. thermoplastic:the one which can be recycled easily thermosettingplastics:the one which cannot be recycled through heating or melting it
is a plastic a thermosetting or thermoplastic?
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.
What is thermoplastic used for?
I believe that thermoplastics are used because they can be melted down again. This means they are are often used for things like bottles because they can be recycled easily compared to other plastics which cannot be remoulded. Hope this helps.

Is Teflon thermosetting or thermoplastic?

What is a plastic with high elongations that can be recycled?
A plastic with high elongation that can be recycled is thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). TPEs have rubber-like properties, making them highly flexible and stretchable. They can undergo multiple cycles of recycling without significantly degrading their properties, making them a sustainable choice for various applications.
