Hazards of thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic
Answers
Once, “thermoplastic” was the last word in injection molding and parts manufacturing. However, that word has been replaced by one which sounds similar but contains a world of difference: thermoset.
Recently, thermoset plastics and resins have emerged as an attractive alternative to both thermoplastics and other traditional ingredients such as metal and wood. While thermoplastics continue to have their use for certain products and in certain situations, thermoset often provides a number of advantages aesthetically, structurally, and in regards to cost and labor.
It is important to understand the differences between thermosets and thermoplastics in order to choose the ideal material for your next manufacturing project.
What are Thermoplastics?
A thermoplastic, also called a thermosetting plastic, is any plastic material which melts into a soft, pliable form above a certain temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Thermoplastics can be re-melted and re-shaped any number of times. They are usually stored in the form of pellets prior to the molding process.
Common examples of thermoplastics include acrylic, polyester, polypropylene, polystyrene, nylon and Teflon. These materials see a wide variety of use in manufacturing products from clothing and non-stick cookware to carpets and laboratory equipment.
both thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics are plastics which increase the growth of microorganisms
If u consider them separately thermoplastics are recyclable while thermosetting plastics are not
And thermoplastics might melt when in contact with higher temperature
And the after effects are felt
Hope the answer is fine!!!!
