Is acrylic plastic thermosetting?
yes. it is a thermoplastic. it can be remoulded.
What is the opposite of thermosoftening?
Thermosetting, these plastics are rigid, resistant to higher temperatures compared with thermoplastics and once set, a thermosetting plastic cannot be remoulded.
What are the benefits of thermoplastics?
More flexible than thermosetting plastics: they can undergo both elastic and plastic deformation without too much trouble. They can also be reformed and remoulded when reheated however they cannot withstand temperatures as high as thermosetting plastics.
Can thermoplastic be remoulded when hot?
Yes, thermoplastics can be remoulded when heated above their melting point. Once softened, they can be reshaped into a new form and then cooled to harden into the desired shape. This process can be repeated multiple times without impacting the material's properties.
What type of plastic makes plastic bags?
a soft plastic
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.
How metal is recycled?
The metal is melted and remoulded!
What type of plastic is a aglet made from?
plastic
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.
What type of plastic would be used in a plastic fitting?
The type of plastic that would be used in a plastic fitting is a type of thermoplastic called PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. PVC is commonly used in plastic fittings because it's durable, and can't be corroded.
What type of science makes plastic?
Soft plastic
