Question

(B) Classify into thermosetting plastic and thermoplastics on the basis of their characteristics. (1) The plastics that are poor conductors of heat and electricity. (2) Plastics which when moulded once, cannot be softened by heating. (3) The plastic which gets deformed easily on heating and can be bent easily.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Talking about the differences between thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic, well the main distinguishing factor between the two is that, thermoplastic materials typically have low melting points due to which they can further be remoulded or recycled easily.

On the other hand, thermosetting plastic is quite the opposite. They can withstand high temperatures and once hardened these cannot be reformed or recycled even with the application of heat. In any case, let’s have a look at some of the important differences between these two compounds below.
