Answer:

Good Afternoon,

Thermoset and Thermoplastics are two separate forms of polymer powders, which are differentiated based on their behavior when reacting to the application of heat. The primary difference between the two is that Thermoset is a material that strengthens when heated, but cannot be remolded or heated after the initial forming, while thermoplastics can be reheated, remolded, and cooled as necessary without causing any chemical changes. As a result of these physical and chemical properties, thermoplastic materials have low melting points while thermoset products can withstand higher temperatures without loss of their structural integrity.

Hope it helps,

Thank you

  • A thermosetting polymer, resin, or plastic, often called a thermoset, is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing from a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer or resin. Curing is induced by heat or suitable radiation and may be promoted by high pressure, or mixing with a catalyst

  • A thermoplastic refers to a plastic polymer material that can become mouldable or pliable at a particular temperature. Furthermore, the solidification of thermoplastic happens upon cooling down. Moreover, the molecular weight of thermoplastics tends to be high.
