Thermoplastics Thermosets

What difference is there? Thermoplastics-thermosets! In general, 2 kinds of plastics are used in common injection molding: Thermoplastics and theromosets. Thermoset plastics are plastics in which the plastic softens once and when hardens cannot be remelted and recycle. Thermoset plastics form cross-links between the molecules that will not be broken down by re-heating. Old thermoset
