Thermosetting plastics are one of the primary classes of polymers used in molding processes across various industries, including those specializing in micro-scale and precision molding. Multiple types exist, each with distinct characteristics and fields of application.   In this discussion of TLD Vietnam, the various types of thermosetting plastics, their applications, and related aspects will be examined. First, however, a clear understanding of what constitutes a thermosetting material is required.   Definition Of Thermosetting Plastics   Thermosetting plastics, also referred to as thermoset, thermosetting resins, or thermosetting polymers, a prepolymer in a viscous or liquid state that undergoes irreversible hardening upon exposure to

Thermoplastics are highly adaptable materials used across a wide range of industries, from everyday consumer goods to advanced engineering solutions. These polymers soften when heated and harden again as they cool, making them easy to mold, recycle, and reshape. In this article, we break down the fundamentals of such plastics, highlight their diverse applications, and discuss their sustainability to help you understand their growing importance in modern manufacturing and future innovations. Read more insightful industry articles on TLD Vietnam’s blog to stay informed about these materials. Definition Of Thermoplastic Polymers Thermoplastics, or thermoplastic polymers, are resins that are solid at

Over the last two decades, thermoplastic polymers have become central to industrial design and manufacturing. Their ability to soften when heated and harden when cooled, without permanent chemical change, sets them apart from other material classes. This reversibility supports repeated shaping, recycling, and adaptation to new requirements. Combined with favorable mechanical properties and growing compatibility with sustainable practices, thermoplastics now dominate applications ranging from automotive components to consumer electronics. This article of TLD Vietnam explores their defining characteristics, molecular basis, processing behavior, chemical resistance, and comparison with thermosets, while providing concrete examples of common grades in use today. Key Properties

In the plastics industry, the Melt Flow Index (MFI) can be seen as a fundamental parameter for assessing the rheological behavior and processing characteristics of polymer materials. A clear understanding of MFI allows manufacturers to select appropriate resins, ensure product consistency, and optimize processing performance. It functions as a key indicator of how a polymer will flow under specific thermal and pressure conditions during manufacturing. For an in-depth technical explanation and its relevance across different polymer grades, read the full article on TLD Vietnam. Definition Of MFI  The MFI represents the mass of polymer melt that passes through a standardized
