    This document provides information about thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastics can be softened by heating and hardened by cooling multiple times without changing properties. They are suitable for recycling. Thermosetting plastics harden permanently after heating and cannot be remelted or reshaped. Thermoplastics are used to make items like bottles and bags while thermosetting plastics are used for applications requiring high heat resistance like electronics. Both have pros and cons regarding recyclability, strength, and flexibility.

    PLASTICS- introduction

     Material of “new age”


     Its basic constituent is prepared synthetically or semi-synthetically from monomer.
     Easily machined, cast and joined.
     Hardness, elasticity, breaking strength, temperature resistance, thermal dimensional
    stability, chemical resistance.

    PROPERTIES :
     Low cost
     Ease of manufacture
     Versatility
     Imperviousness to water
     Electrical insulator
    PLASTICS- classification
    THERMOPLASTIC

    THESE PLASTICS CAN BE SOFTEN BY HEATING AND HARDENED BY COOLING ANY NUMBER OF TIMES WITHOUT CHANGING THE
    PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL
    IT S THUS POSSIBLE TO SHAPE AND RESHAPE THESE PLASTIC BY MEANS OF HEAT AND PRESSURE
    ONE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF THIS VARIETY OF PLASTIC IS THAT SCRAP OBTAINED FROM OLD AND WARNOUT ARTICLES CAN BE
    EFFECTIVELY USED AGAIN

    PROPERTIES

    SOFTENS AND LIQUEFIES ON HEATING AND HARDENS UPTO COOLING


    RETAINS SHAPE AFTER MANUFACTURE
    CAN BE RESHAPED BY HEATING
    SUITABLE FOR RECYCLING
    THEY ARE SOLUBLE IN CERTAIN SOLVENTS
    APPLICATIONS

     THERMOPLASTICS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME AND ARE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF EVERYDAY LIFE TODAY. FOR EXAMPLE,

     ACRYLONITRILE BUTADIENE STYRENE (ABS) IS A THERMOPLSTIC USED TO MANUFACTURE:


    SPORTS EQUIPMENT
    TOYS
    VARIOUS AUTOMOBILE PARTS

     POLYCARBONATE IS USED TO MAKE:


    CD’s AND DVD’s
    DRINKING BOTTLES
    FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS

     POLYEHTLENE IS PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON THERMOPLASTIC AND IS USED TO MAKE:


     SHAMPOO BOTTLES
     PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS
     BULLET-PROOF VESTS.
    THERMOSETTING PLASTIC

    THESE PLASTICS ARE EITHER ORIGINALLY SOFT OR LIQUID OR THEY SOFTEN ONCE UPON HEATING,THEY HARDEN
    PERMANENTLY.
    WHEN THEY ARE HEATED IN THE TEMPERATURE OF 127 DEGREE CENTIGRADE TO 177 DEGREE CENTIGRADE , THEY
    SET PERMANENTLY AD FURTHER APPLICATION OF HEAT DOES NOT ALTER THEIR FORM OF SOFTEN THEM .
    BUT AT TEMPERTAURE OF ABOUT 343 DEGREE CENTIGRADE ,THE CHARRING OCCURS . THE THERMO SETTING
    PLASTICS ARE DURABLE, STRONG AND HARD
    THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN A VARIETY OF BEAUTIFUL COLORS

    PROPERTIES
    PERMANENTLY HARD ON HEATING ABOVE A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE
    UNERGOES CHEMICAL CHANGES DURING MANUFACTURE
    CAN NOT BE MELTED AND RESHAPED
    LITTLE POTENTIAL FOR RECYCLING
    CURIG PROCESS

    THERMOPLASTIC
     THERMOPLASTIC PELETS SOFTEN WHEN HEATED AND BECOME MORE FLUID AS ADDITIONAL HEAT IS APPLIED
     THE CURING PROCESS IS COMPLETELY REVERSABLE AS NO CHEMICAL BONDING TAKES PLACE THIS
    CHARACTERISTIC ALLOWS THERMOPLASTICS TO BE REMOLDED AD RECYCLED WITHOUT EFFECTING THE
    MATERIAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

    THERMOSETS
     THERMOSETS PLASTIC CONTAIN POLYMERS THAT CROSS INK TOGETHER DURING THE CURING PROCESS TO
    FORM AN IRREVERSABLE CHEMICAL BOND THE CROSS INKING PROCESS ELEMINATES THE RISK OF THE
    PRODUCT REMELTING WHEN HEAT IS APPLIED,MAKING THERMOSETS IDEAL FOR HIGH HEAT APPLICATIONS
    SUCH AS ELECTONICS AND APPLIANCES
    FEATURES AND BENEFITS

    THERMOPLASTIC

     THERE ARE MULTIPLE THERMOPLASTIC RESINS THAT OFFER VARIOUS PERFORMANCE BENEFITS,BUT MOST
    MATERIALS COOMONLY OFFER HIGH STRENGTH, SHRINK RESISTANCE AND EASY BENDABILITY . DEPENDING
    ON THE RAISEN THERMOPLASTIC CAN SERVE LOW STRENGTH APPLICATION SUCH AS PLASTIC BAGS OR HIGH
    STRESS MECHANICAL PARTS

    THERMOSET

     THERMOSET PLASTIC SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE MATERIAL MECHANICAL PROPERTIES PROVIDING


    ENHANCES CHEMICAL RESISTANCE ,HEAT RESISTANCE AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY .
     THERMOSET PLASTICS ARE OFTEN USED FOR SEALED PRODUCTS DUE TO THEIR RESISTANCE TO
    DEFORMATION
    PROS

    THERMOPLASTICS
     HIGHLY RECYCLABLE
     AESTHETICALLY SUPERIOR FINISHES
     HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE
     REMOULDIND /RESHAPING CAPABILITIES
     CHEMICAL RESISTANT
    THERMOSETS
     MORE RESISTANT TO HIGH TEMPERATURE
     HIGHLY FLEXIBLE DESIGN
     THICK TO THIN WALL CAPABILITIES
     EXCELLENT AESTHETIC APEARENCE
    CONS

    THERMOPLASTICS
     GENERALLY MORE EXPENSIVE
     CAN MELT IF HEATED

    THERMOSET
     CAN NOT BE RECYCLED
     MORE DIFICULT TO SURFACE FINISH
     CANNOT BE REMOULDED OR RESHAPED
