Teflon is a thermoplastic.
thermosetting plastic becomes hard when heated and deteriorates by excessive cross linking and thermoplastic becomes soft and can be moulded into any shape.
The terms are used to categorise cable insulation according to its properties, such as its operating temperature, rather than the ingredients from which it is are made.These terms are now used by the IEE Wiring Regulations to describe insulation formerly described, for example, as 'pvc' (a 'thermoplastic' material) or rubber ( a 'thermosetting' material).
