on the basis of the reaction of heat in plastic , their are two types of plastics : 

<h2>Thermoplastic & Thermosetting plastics </h2>

Thermoplastics : Plastics which easily get deformed (become soft )on heating and also get bend easily are known as thermoplastics .

examples : polythene , polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene .

thermosetting plastics : plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics .

examples : bakelite , melamine and formica
