uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) is classified as a thermoplastic rather than a thermosetting or thermoforming material. It can be re-melted and reshaped when heated, which is characteristic of thermoplastics. This property makes uPVC suitable for various applications, including window frames and piping, as it can be molded into different shapes during manufacturing.
