Due to the inherent corrosion resistance of thermoset resins, CFRP products do not rust or corrode and in turn have a longer product lifetime than typical metal materials.  Gordon Composites™ Thermoset Laminates & Barstock Get deep deflection and strength with unidirectional fiber-reinforced thermoset materials

Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites. The main difference between a thermoset and thermoplastic is a thermoset cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled while thermoplastics can be reheated and re-formed.  For example, thermoset composites have high temperature resistance and excellent fatigue resistance.

Thermoset vs Thermoplastic (What’s the difference?) Thermoset materials are chemically cross-linked and cannot be reprocessed or recycled. Common examples are epoxy, silicone, and polyurethane (PU).
