Definition:During the thermal cleaning a thermal oxidation phase follows a pyrolysis phase at approx. 430 °C, with which any remaining carbon is completely removed.
thermoplastic
Definition:Thermoplastics, also called plastomers, are plastics that can be formed in specific temperature ranges (thermo-plastic). This process is reversible, so long as the material is not thermally degraded by overheating.
thermoset
Definition:Thermosetting plastics, also called Duromers, are plastics that cannot be formed again after setting.
