What is Thermoplastic
What is Thermoplastic Thermoplastic are the type of plastic that melts when heated and hardens again when cooled. About 80% of the plastics produced are thermoplastics. Polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyvinylchloride (PVC) are examples of thermoplastics. Let us try to understand this through the following analogy: When ice is heated, it melts. When a thermoplastic object is heated, it melts as well. The molten ice can be formed into a new shape, and it will retain that shape when frozen. In the same way, a molten thermoplastic object can be transformed into a different shape and it will retain that new shape when cooled. Study buddy
