Jun Lee on 13 Dec 12Plastic mould is a form of plastic setting material that is industrially used to forge different shapes and sizes. There are umpteen ways of providing shapes to plastic and thus, plastic is available in various sizes. For plastic molding there are two types of molding plastic- thermosetting plastic and thermoplastic. The basic difference between the two is that, thermosets are resistive to higher temperatures where as thermoplastics melt under high temperature. Thermoplastic are ideal for plastic mould as they can be reshaped into another object under the influence of high temperatures. The one dimensional polymers that comprise thermoplastics account for its reshape ability. However, the three dimensional polymers don't allow thermosets to wilt under extreme conditions and it retains its original shape.
