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.

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 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.
