Thermoset plastics offer outstanding thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties, combined with excellent flame resistance for a wide variety of applications. Their inherent excellent dimensional stability under load cannot be matched by most thermoplastics. In addition, thermosets are continually finding new applications as metal replacement materials.

In general, thermoset plastics excel in the following properties:

- Heat resistance

- Flame resistance

- Thermal performance

- Chemical resistance

- Impact strength

- Creep resistance

- Dimensional stability

- Cost
