Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
The three I can think of are polyester resin ,urea formaldehyde and polyurethane
the opposite to thermosetting plastic is thermoplastic
Thermosetting plastics can not be recycled because they can not be reformed or re moulded
Plastics are primarily divided into two categories: thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped multiple times, making them versatile for various applications, while thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical change when heated, solidifying permanently and providing structural stability. These distinctions influence their usage in manufacturing and recycling processes.
Plastics.
Thermosetting plastics
THERMOSETTING can be heated and shaped ONCE THERMO can be heated an manipulated time and time again
Examples of thermosetting plastics (or just thermosets) include amino, epoxy, and phenolic and unsaturated polyesters.

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.
Polyester resin is a thermosetting resin, generally a copolymer
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
three types of thermo plastics are POLYETHENE.....,POLYPROPYLENE........and.......POLYVINYL CHLORIDE(PVC)
A thermosetting plastic, in contrast, can be melted and shaped only once. If it is then heated a second time, it tends to crack or disintegrate. Examples of thermosetting plastics (or just thermosets) include amino, epoxy, and phenolic and unsaturated polyesters.
mostly thermosetting plastics like bakelite
