Thermoset vs. thermoplastic
Comparison of thermoset and thermoplastic materials
According to DIN 7724, plastics (also called plastics or plastics) are divided into thermoplastics, duroplastics, elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers based on their mechanical behavior.
Plastics are synthetically produced from raw materials such as petroleum. Because of the organic carbon or silicon compounds they are called organic materials.
Thermoset vs. thermoplastic
Thermosets and thermoplastics are two different families of plastics that differ in their behavior in response to heat. The main difference between the two is that thermosets are materials that solidify when heated but cannot be reshaped or heated after initial shaping, while thermoplastics can be reheated, reshaped, and cooled as needed without chemical changes.
