thermosetting materials

Thermosetting materials are a type of plastic that hardens permanently when heated and shaped. Once formed, they cannot be melted or reshaped again because their molecules create a strong, cross-linked network during manufacturing. This makes them very sturdy, heat-resistant, and resistant to chemicals. Common examples include epoxy, phenolic, and melamine resins, often used in electronics, cookware, and structural components. Their durability and stability make them ideal for applications requiring long-lasting, high-performance materials that maintain their shape and strength under stress or heat.
