Thermoset plastics are mechanically strong and have a bright surface. Good corrosion resistance, large temperature range, no deformation, but it is brittle and can not withstand heavy heavy blows.
There are many kinds of thermoplastics, and there are advantages and disadvantages in terms of acid resistance, alkali resistance, chemical resistance, friction resistance, temperature resistance, etc. Please refer to the technical performance of common plastic materials in this technical article, and their common points are compared with bakelite: Resilience, excessive external force will be too much deformation, but will not be broken.
