0 Thermosetting substances can be melted and formed into shapes that become hard and cannot be melted again.
Examples of thermosetting adhesives are: epoxy, polyurethane, cyanoacrylate and acrylic polymers.
Fiberglass spoilers consist of fiberglass cloth infiltrated with a thermosetting resin, such as epoxy.
Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials, including metals, glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.
Other applications include thermosetting resins as well as cable sheaths and insulation made from thermoplastic elastomers.
When heat and pressure are applied to the layers, a chemical reaction (polymerization) transforms the layers into a high-pressure thermosetting industrial laminated plastic.
It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from an elimination reaction of phenol with formaldehyde.
Nanocellulose has been reported to improve the mechanical properties of, for example, thermosetting resins, starch-based matrixes, soy protein, rubber latex, poly(lactide).
The plastic may be a thermosetting plastic- most often epoxy, polyester- or vinylester or a thermoplastic.
