The thermosetting are materials that are composed of polymers joined together by chemical bonds. The highly cross-linked product structure is directly responsible for the high mechanical and physical strength (ability to withstand high stresses, loads, temperatures) compared to the most common thermoplastic polymers or elastomeric materials.
Strengths:
– More resistant to high temperatures compared to thermoplastic materials
– Highly flexible design
– Excellent mechanical resistence
– Good appearance
– High levels of dimensional stability
– Excellent value for money
Weakness:
– It can not be recycled
– The surface finishing is more difficult
– It can not be modernized or remodeled
