Question

Difference between thermo plastic and thermosetting plastic? ​

Answer 1

The primary physical difference is that thermoplastics can be remelted back into a liquid, whereas thermoset plastics always remain in a permanent solid state. Think of thermoplastics as butter – butter can be melted and cooled multiple times to form various shapes.

Answer 2

• Thermoplastics = a plastic which can softened repeatedly by heating and be moulded into different shapes again and again.
• Thermosetting=a plastic which one set,does not become soft on heating and can't be moulded a second time.
