Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer.
Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic polymer.
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, is a thermoplastic, not a thermosetting plastic. Thermoplastics can be reheated and reshaped multiple times without affecting their properties, while thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical change during heating and cannot be reshaped once set.
thermosetting plastic
Polystyrene is a very poor conductor of heat. This is why its used as an insulator in some products.
thermoforming plastic is completley the oppisite of thermosetting!

Vacuum forming is a simplified form of thermoforming. Thermoforming heats plastic to a certain temperature, and is put on a mold while applying a vacuum to the mold.
thermosetting plastic
Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a flat plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, then shaped into a specific mold using vacuum, pressure, or mechanical force. The plastic cools and hardens in the mold, taking its final shape. This method is commonly used to produce packaging, trays, and other plastic products.

No, thermoforming is a broader term that includes vacuum forming as well as other methods like pressure forming and twin sheet forming. Vacuum forming specifically uses vacuum pressure to shape plastic sheets over a mold.

the opposite to thermosetting plastic is thermoplastic
They are thermosetting plastic and thermoplastic!
