Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material. This means it can be melted and reshaped multiple times without undergoing any significant chemical change. In contrast, thermosetting plastics, once cured, cannot be remelted or reshaped. Thus, polypropylene's properties allow for recycling and reprocessing.

Is the plastic ruler thermo or thermo setting?

Thermoplastics can be shaped easily by being cooled and heated time and time again. They suffer little degration by the heating and cooling. They are solid at room temp. Thermoset on the other hand cannot be repeatedly heated and cooled. if you try to re heat they become chared and do not re soften.
