thermoset plastics

Thermoset plastics are a type of durable plastic that, once shaped and heated during manufacturing, undergo a chemical change called curing. This process creates a strong, permanent bond within the material, so it cannot be melted or reshaped afterward. They are known for their high heat resistance, electrical insulating properties, and strength. Common examples include epoxy, phenolic, and polyurethane plastics, which are used in electronics, automotive parts, and kitchenware. Because they don’t soften after curing, thermosets are ideal for applications requiring long-lasting, heat-resistant performance.
