Thermoset Resins

Thermoset resins are a type of polymer that undergoes a chemical change when heated, resulting in a rigid and durable material. Unlike thermoplastics, which can be melted and reshaped, thermosets harden permanently after curing. This makes them ideal for applications requiring heat resistance, strength, and stability, such as in automotive parts, electronics, and composites. Once set, these materials cannot return to a liquid state, which contributes to their durability but limits recyclability. Common examples include epoxy, phenolic, and polyurethane resins, each offering unique properties for various industrial and commercial uses.
