Thermosetting plastic :-
Thermosetting plastic are synthetic materials that strengthen during being heated, but cannot be successfully remolded or reheated after their initial heat-forming. Thermosetting plastics will burn when heated after the initial molding. Thermosetting plastics take a longer time to produce.
Thermosetting plastics have a number of advantages. They retain their strength and shape even when heated. This makes thermosetting plastics well-suited for the production of permanent components and large, solid shapes. Additionally, these components have excellent strength attributes and will become weaker if the temperature increases. Thermosetting plastic products are typically produced by heating liquid or powder within a mold, allowing the material to cure into its hardness form. These products can be removed from the mold even without allowing it to cool.
Applications :-
Themosetting plastics are used to make many things such as electric fittings, handles of utensils and control knobs, adhesives, melamine kitchenware, fabrics etc.

Thermosetting plastics are the interlinked chain of polymers. They can only be heated and molded once because re-heating won't affect the structure of articles made out of this material. Different polymers are connected in order to create a bigger polymer. Below, I have mentioned the main types of thermosetting plastics along with their application.
- Epoxy resin (Epoxide, ER): Used as adhesives, for casting and encapsulation. Also, used for PCBs as well as surface coatings.
- Melamine formaldehyde (MF): Used for tableware, electrical insulation and laminating work surfaces.
- Polyester resin (PR): Used for bonding of other materials, car bodies, boats. Also for encapsulation and casting.
- Urea formaldehyde (UF): Utilized in electrical fittings, control knobs and handles.
- Phenol formaldehyde (PF, Bakelite): Used for dark colored electrical fittings and accessories for home appliances, kettle handles, bottle tops, saucepan handles.
