Is the plastic thermosetting or thermoplastic?
Thermoplastic resins: resins which can be repeatedly heated, softened, cooled and cured. They are solid at room temperature and soften when heated and decomposed when the temperature is too high
The basic situation is as follows:Thermosetting: the shell of an electrical socket, the handle of a button, and a pan for cookingThermoplastic: packing bags, beverage bottles, plastic stationeryThe difference between ABS and HIPS: the difference between thermosetting and thermoplasticABS is the three copolymer of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, acrylonitrile comprehensive chemical corrosion resistance, oil resistance, rigidity and hardness; butadiene toughness and cold resistance; electrical properties of styrene. Can he produced a variety of electrical appliances, instrument parts, television, audio, communications and small equipment shell, refrigerator, washing machine parts furniture, and cultural and educational supplies; HIPS is used to styrene rubber blending grafting modification, coloring, electrical insulation, chemical stability is good. The difference between methods of renewable materials is used after the fire, the smell of ABS containing acrylonitrile taste (sweet potato, and the burning smell) HIPS containing rubber smell smell in the taste of PS.The difference between thermoset and thermoplastic plastics like ceramic and glass, a heating can not melt, another after heating can also melt and reuse the characteristics of the thermoplastic plastics can be simple, renewable plastic is made of thermoplastic plastics, such as PVC, PMMA, PS, PA PP, ABS, PE, POM, PPO, PC, and PPS.
Thermosetting resin: a resin that is chemically cured when heated. This reaction is irreversible and can not be softened by reheating and carbonization when the temperature is too high
