Difference between Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Plastic | | Thermoplastic | Thermosetting Plastic |
1. | Objects prepared through thermoplastic resins can not be use at relatively higher temperature as they will tend to soften below heat. | Objects prepared with thermosetting resins can be use at moderately higher temperature with no damage |
2. | They are frequently supplied as grainy material | They are generally supplied in monomeric or partly polymerized material type in which they are also liquids or partly thermoplastic solids. |
3. | They can be frequently soften through heat and hardened with cooling. | One time hardened and set, they do not soften by application of heat. |
4. | They are relatively softer and fewer strong. | They are stronger and harder than thermoplastic resins. |
5. | Use. Photographic films, insulating tapes, toys, combs, toilet goods, hoses, electric insulation, and so on. | Use. Electric plugs, radio and T.V. cabinets, telephone receivers, camera bodies, automobile parts, circuit breaker switch panels, tapes, hoses, and so on. |
