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.

What is full form of upvc pipe?

uPVC actually stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. uPVC is also commonly known as rigid PVC and it is called this because it is hard and does not flex. This material doesn't not contain any phthalates or BPA, so it is actually quite safe. uPVC is so stable and safe that it is actually used to make dental retainers and mouthguards!

Is polyester resin a thermo plastic or thermosetting?

Once polyester resin cures (hardens) through a chemical reaction—usually with a catalyst like MEKP—it forms a rigid, cross-linked structure that cannot be melted or reshaped again. This irreversible curing process is the key characteristic of thermosetting materials. In contrast, thermoplastics soften when heated and can be remolded multiple times, which polyester resin cannot do after curing. That’s why polyester resin is widely used in fiberglass, boat hulls, automotive parts, and construction—applications where heat resistance and structural strength are essential.
