(1) It is a thermoplastic material which gets softer with heating and hardens when cooled.(2) Made of a gelatinous thermoplastic material, the product acts like a solid adhesive and will not dry out.(3) A couple of companies introduced new lines of thermoplastic materials suited for medical applications.(4) Hot-bar and impulse welding processes are commonly used in the packaging industry to seal plastic bags and join thermoplastic films of 0.5 mm or less.(5) u2018Think of it as thermoplastic rubber that is recyclable and processes like plastic,u2019 he says.(6) Independent custom molders, who made marketable parts and products, experimented in the 1930s with injection molding of thermoplastics , which eventually almost replaced compression molding of thermoset resins.(7) Manufacturers can currently choose from either thermoset plastics or thermoplastics .(8) Many of these are used as thermoplastics that are shaped and processed by means of injection molding and extrusion.(9) There are three classes of polymers - thermoplastics , thermosets, and elastomers.(10) Other scientists made various plaster derivatives, artificial silks, and thermoplastics .
