Ask the Expert Question-and-Answer Archive by Ron Joseph October, 2005 Thermoplastic and Thermoset Paint Coatings Q. How can I identify between thermoplastic and thermosetting paints in the field? A. To the best of my knowledge there is no good on-site method for determining
between thermoplastic and thermoset coatings. You need to know the resin from
which the coating was made and then determine from the literature or data sheets
whether that particular resin is thermoplastic or thermoset. I'm sure there
are laboratory tests that can be used to make that determination, but these
are not performed in the field.
