Definition of thermoplastic in English English dictionary
A plastic that repeatedly can be softened by heating andhardened by cooling through a temperature range characteristic of the plastic, and that in the softened state can be shaped by flow into articles by molding or extrusion
plastic that softens when exposed to heat and returns to its original condition when cooled to room temperature
a polymer which may be softened by heat and hardened by cooling in a reversible physical process
Capable of being repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling and in the softened state can be shaped by flow
A resin or plastic compound that, as a finished material, is capable of being repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling Examples of thermoplastics are: acetal, acrylic, cellulosic, chlorinated polyether, fluorocarbons, polyamides (nylons), polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, some types of polyurethanes, and vinyl resins
Thermoplastic materials are types of plastic which becomes soft when they are heated and hard when they cool down. a plastic that is soft and bendable when heated but hard when cold
A plastic that repeatedly can be softened by heating and hardened by cooling through a temperature range characteristic of the plastic, and when in the softened stage, can be shaped by flow into articles by molding or extrusion
A plastic jacketing material that softens when heated and becomes firm on cooling Thermoplastics include PVC, PE, Polyurethane, and Nylon
{i} material which possesses the properties of fusing in heat and hardening when cooled
A material which will soften, flow or distort appreciably when subjected to sufficient heat and pressure Examples are polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) A jacketed material which has many of the characteristics of rubber, as well as excellent electrical, mechanical and chemical properties
a material that softens when heated and hardens again when cooled having the property of softening or fusing when heated and of hardening and becoming rigid again when cooled; "thermoplastic materials can be remelted and cooled time after time without undergoing any appreciable chemical change
having the property of becoming liquid under the application of heat, while rigid, semi-solid, or solid at normal or ambient temperature and regaining elasticity under heat application repeatedly
A plastic that can be formed or melted repeatedly when heated enough The change with temperature is physical rather than chemical Some examples are nylon, polycarbonate and polyethylene
A material which will soften, flow, or distort appreciably when subjected to sufficient heat and pressure Examples are polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene
materials that soften when heated and harden when cooled This process can be repeated provided that material is not hearted above the point at which decomposition occurs
plastics capable of being repeatedly softened by increases in temperature and hardened by decreases in temperature These changes are physical rather than chemical
Resin capable of being repeatedly softened by heat and hardened by cooling These materials, when heated, undergo a substantially physical rather than chemical change Thermoplastic resins can be completely dissolved with appropriate solvents
having the property of softening or fusing when heated and of hardening and becoming rigid again when cooled; "thermoplastic materials can be remelted and cooled time after time without undergoing any appreciable chemical change"
Widely used materials, such as ABS, acrylic, polycarbonate and PVC, which can be melted again and again They melt when heated to a certain temperature, but harden again as they cool
