Thermoplastics and thermosets can be divided according to the “behavior” they take on in relation to heat.
Thermosetting materials: due to their processing by heat and pressure, they undergo changes that permanently change their nature. Once the object with the designed shape has been made-through molding machines-the material, when heated again, carbonizes, being unable to burn or change shape.
Thermoplastics: with processing, the material does not undergo an ultimate change and every time it is heated it will become workable again.
Between the two products, therefore, there is a great difference in the behavior as a function of heat, a characteristic that entails the selection of the material depending on the intended end use. The Ansa Composites Group, with its established experience over more than fifty years as a market leader, is the technological partner that can contribute to the selection of the most suitable materials.
