Thermoset Molding Materials
Thermoset plastics, or composites, differ from thermoplastic materials. While thermoplastics are more more common molding materials for general plastic use, thermosets are a material of choice for challenging applications exposed to electrical current, high temperature, or aggressive chemicals. In similar application settings, thermoplastics will degrade, jeopardizing the integrity of the molded part. Thermosets remain dimensionally and chemically stable within these elements.
