Thermosets and engineered thermoplastics are sometimes better suited to differing situations, but they do have some overlap in relevant use cases. When the selection comes down to a thermoset plastic or an engineered thermoplastic, there are several areas where thermoset plastics excel.

Thermoset plastics provide a versatile, cost-saving alternative to certain metals and engineered thermoplastic materials. Thermoset plastics are often overlooked as a quality substitute for metal in rigid applications such as heavy equipment, automobile components, and rugged consumer goods, but can often provide a lightweight and durable material solution for these applications.
