What else can I help you with?
Do thermo plastics of cross links between chains?
Thermosetting plastics
Is polythene a thermosetting or a thermoforming plastic?
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, is a thermoplastic, not a thermosetting plastic. Thermoplastics can be reheated and reshaped multiple times without affecting their properties, while thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical change during heating and cannot be reshaped once set.
Mould temperature affect the properties of a thermosetting plastic?
Yes, mould temperature significantly affects the properties of thermosetting plastics. Higher mould temperatures can enhance the curing process, leading to improved mechanical properties, reduced brittleness, and better dimensional stability. Conversely, lower mould temperatures may result in incomplete curing, affecting the final product's strength and thermal resistance. Therefore, controlling mould temperature is crucial for optimizing the performance of thermosetting plastics.
Why is a thermosetting plastic used for a plug socket?
Thermosetting plastics are used for plug sockets because they have high heat resistance and can withstand the temperatures generated by electrical currents without deforming. Additionally, they have good insulation properties, which help prevent electrical shocks.
Why are thermo plastic and thermosetting plastic different?
Thermoplastics plastics can be heated and then moulded into a shape or form, but thermosetting cannot. Each plastic can be moulded into a 'shape or form', it is just that thermoplastics, once they have been moulded, they can be re-heated and moulded again, where-as once thermosetting plastics have been moulded, if re-heated and you try to remould it, it will just make it brittle and snap instead.
What are the names of the two main gropes of plastics?
By properties they are Thermosetting plastics and Thermoplastics
Is wire coating an example of thermosetting plastics?
yes wire coating is an example of thermosetting plastics!!!!
What is the opposite of thermosetting plastics?
the opposite to thermosetting plastic is thermoplastic
What is the definition of Thermosetting plastics?
Plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics.
Why is thermosetting plastics used for making chairs?
Because they can be colored, molded, cured and have reasonably good mechanical properties.
What two families of plastic are there?
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
What is unbreakable plastics?
mostly thermosetting plastics like bakelite
What don't melt?
Thermosetting plastics. Once cooled and hardened, these plastics retain their shapes and cannot return to their original form. Thermosetting plastics dont melt (i think) :)
Do thermo plastics of cross links between chains?
Thermosetting plastics
Can we substitute thermosetting plastics with thermo plastics?
Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
