DID YOU KNOW?

What is the difference between "thermoplastics" and "thermoset plastics"?

While often mistaken for the same thing, Thermoplastics and Thermosets are two very different families of polymers and react differently in the presence of heat. The primary difference between each material is that  thermoplastics can be re-melted , while  thermosets cannot be re-melted and remain in a permanent solid state once they are cured . Each material family has many benefits within various applications, such as wear resistance and self-lubricating properties in the thermoplastic materials, while thermoset properties give the materials high compressive strength and the ability to withstand high temperatures.
