What is a thermoset?

Thermosets are non-elastic plastics that are characterized by a very high degree of cross-linking between the polymer chains. polymer chains between the polymer chains. The degree of cross-linking is even higher than with elastomersas they are chemically cured and not vulcanized. vulcanized vulcanized. They differ from thermoplasticsin that they do not begin to melt at higher temperatures, but retain their shape and hardness until the final decomposition temperature. Due to their lack of elasticity, thermosets are not used in vibration technology. elastic elastic properties.
