What are "Thermo Plastics" and "Thermoset Plastics"?
Generally, the "Resins" are classified as the "Thermo Plastics" and "Thermoset Plastics".

Thermo Plastics: The resins are soft after heating.
Thermoset Plastics: The resins are rigid after heating.

In a word, "Thermo Plastics" are like a "chocolate". They can be melted at the moment of heating again and again.

Conversely, "Thermoset Plastics" are like a "biscuit". They can be melted at the moment of heating once and for all. However, after then, they cannot be melted even if the heating is repeated.
