Thermoplastics: A plastic substance which can be melted repeatedly by heating and can be moulded again and again into different shapes is called a thermoplastic polymer. Polythene, PVC and polystyrene age common examples of thermoplastics.
Thermosetting plastics: A plastic substance which does not soften much on heating and can be moulded only once is called a thermosetting plastic. Thus softening and moulding are irreversible. Bakelite and melamine ate common thermosetting plastics.
