A sharpener is typically made from thermoplastic materials, such as polypropylene or polystyrene. These materials can be easily molded and reshaped when heated, making them suitable for producing various shapes and designs of sharpeners. In contrast, thermosetting plastics, once set, cannot be remolded or reshaped, which is not ideal for the manufacturing process of sharpeners.
