Polystyrene is a thermoplastic, which means it softens when heated and can be molded into different shapes but retains its solid structure after cooling.
Acrylic is a thermoplastic
A non-thermoplastic material is one that does not soften or flow when exposed to heat and instead undergoes a permanent chemical change. Examples include thermosetting plastics like epoxy resins or phenolic resins, which form irreversible chemical bonds when heated and cooled, making them resistant to high temperatures.
