Thermoplastics are plastics capable of being softened and moulded again and again through heat and pressure. Examples include Polythene, Polyvinyl Chloride and Polystyrene.
(THERMOPLASTICS) A group of plastic materials that become elastic or melt when heated, and return to their rigid state at room temperature. Examples are PVC, ABS, polystrene, polycarbonates, nylon, etc.
(Thermoplastics) Resins capable of undergoing a chemical reaction leading to a relative infusible and insolvable state.
(Thermoplastics) The most widely used thermoplastics are polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene, which are manufactured as homogeneous materials or which can contain low-modulus fillers; less frequently, thermoplastics are filled with gases, mineral powders, or organic synthetic fibers.
