Thermoplastic
Thermoplastics are a type of plastic material that softens when heated and hardens when cooled, allowing them to be reshaped multiple times without changing their chemical structure. This property makes them ideal for manufacturing a wide range of products through processes like molding and extrusion. Common examples include polyethylene (used in plastic bags), polypropylene (used in containers), and PVC (used in pipes). Because they can be repeatedly melted and reformed, thermoplastics are versatile, recyclable, and widely used in industries such as packaging, automotive, and consumer goods.
