thermosetting resins

Thermosetting resins are a type of polymer that, once cured or hardened through a chemical process, cannot be reshaped or remelted. Unlike thermoplastics, which can be heated and molded multiple times, thermosetting resins create a strong, permanent structure after being set, making them ideal for durable products like adhesives, coatings, and composite materials. They provide excellent heat resistance and stability, making them suitable for applications where strength and longevity are critical. Common examples include epoxy and phenolic resins, often used in automotive parts, electrical insulators, and household items.
