There are two major families of polymers: thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics, which have different characteristics and properties. |
This thermosetting composite material is comprised of sheets that are molded, mainly through compression. |
Since we wanted a system that was neither thermosetting nor filled, we had to develop a way to handle thermoplastics for compression moulding. |
Two different groups of resins are available for hot mounting: thermoplastic and thermosetting. |
This technology, known as reaction injection molding, accounts for much of the production of thermosetting elastomers made from polyurethane. |
After polymerisation using heat, light, radiation, or catalysis a range of strong thermosetting plastics can be produced. |
