As a direct consequence, thermosets require a longer cycle time than thermoplastics and further cannot be easily recycled due to the crosslinking throughout the molecular network. Re-using a thermoplastic is (almost) as easy as submitting the material to heat and forming it again. However, thermosets do offer other advantages such as much lower tooling costs versus thermoplastics. This makes thermosets much more competitive than thermoplastics when considering small to medium size series parts (e.g.: truck components and panels, small off-road vehicles, motorcycle parts, aeronautics, building & infrastructure, etc.)
