thermosets
Thermosets are a type of plastic that, once shaped and hardened through a chemical process called curing, cannot be melted or reshaped. They form strong, durable materials used in applications like electrical insulations, adhesives, and automotive parts. When heated, thermosets undergo a chemical reaction that creates a permanent, cross-linked structure, making them resistant to heat, chemicals, and deformation. Unlike thermoplastics, which can be reheated and reshaped, thermosets retain their form permanently after curing. This stability and strength make thermosets ideal for high-performance, load-bearing, and heat-resistant products.
