  "definition": "Thermoset resins (or thermosets) undergo a chemical reaction and become permanently solid when heated, pressurized, or reacted with a hardening agent. Thermosets are usually available in liquid or powder form for processing. Unlike thermoplastics, thermosets cannot be easily remelted or refabricated. However, scraps from thermoset processing operations can be used as fillers for other products.",
