Thermoset plastic:
Thermoset plastics contain polymers that cross-link together during the curing process to form an irreversible chemical bond. The cross-linking process eliminates the risk of the product remelting when heat is applied, making thermosets ideal for high-heat applications such as electronics and appliances.Thermoset plastics significantly improve the material’s mechanical properties, providing enhances chemical resistance, heat resistance and structural integrity. Thermoset plastics are often used for sealed products due to their resistance to deformation.
Pros :
More resistant to high temperatures than thermoplasticsHighly flexible designThick to thin wall capabilitiesExcellent aesthetic appearanceHigh levels of dimensional stabilityCost-effective
Cons:
Cannot be recycledMore difficult to surface finishCannot be remolded or reshaped
Thermoplastic:
Thermoplastics pellets soften when heated and become more fluid as additional heat is applied. The curing process is completely reversible as no chemical bonding takes place. This characteristic allows thermoplastics to be remolded and recycled without negatively affecting the material’s physical properties.There are multiple thermoplastic resins that offer various performance benefits, but most materials commonly offer high strength, shrink-resistance and easy bendability. Depending on the resin, thermoplastics can serve low-stress applications such as plastic bags or high-stress mechanical parts
Pros:
Highly recyclableAesthetically-superior finishesHigh-impact resistanceRemolding/reshaping capabilitiesChemical resistantHard crystalline or rubbery surface optionsEco-friendly manufacturing
Cons:
Generally more expensive than thermosetCan melt if heated

Answer:
The primary difference between Thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics is how they respond to heat due to the chemical structure. If there is one major difference that distinguished both plastics is that Thermoplastic can be reused but Thermoset plastic can not be.
