All plastics are polymers (but not the other way around). There are a zillion different plastics, and a wide range of melting temperatures for them. Some don't melt, but actually suffer decomposition at higher temperatures because their molecular structure won't permit them to melt. Unfortunately, the question is so broad that not much more can be said except to give some examples of common plastics:
- PVC, polyvinyl chloride, melts at 212 °C (about 414 °F)
- Teflon®, which we use to coat cookware, is polytetrafluoroethene - PTFE, and it melts at 327 °C (about 621 °F)
- POM copolymer has a melting point of 162-173 °C.
- PLA softens at 50 °C
- ABS softens at 90 °C
Plastics have different melting points depending on the type of plastic. Common plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene melt around 130-140°C, while others like polystyrene melt around 240°C. However, some specialized plastics like PTFE can have higher melting points above 300°C.
It depends on the plastic.
Low-density polyethylene melts at 105 degrees C - just over the temperature of boiling water.
At the other end of the scale is a very large category of plastics called "thermosetting." Epoxy, polyester resin, melamine and silicone are thermosetting. Thermosetting plastics don't melt.
There are thousands of kinds of "plastic" . ( polystyrene, polyvinyl, plexiglass, lucite, polyvinylchloride, ABS, CPVC, etc, etc , ) -All melt at different temperatures. -You will have to specify an exact type for an answer.
There are different types of plastics and the melting point is also different. Refer to the link below for melting point and other data.
it needs to be over 101c. At school we did science at that was what we needed to do so i know. It needs to be really hot but if you do it do not burn yourself but nobody try this at home.

Does MDMA melt?
No, MDMA does not melt. It is a solid crystal at room temperature.
Does ice melt faster in a room temperature glass or in a frozen glass?
Ice will melt faster in a room temperature glass compared to a frozen glass. The room temperature glass provides a warmer environment for the ice to melt quicker, while the frozen glass will keep the ice colder for longer, slowing down the melting process.
Does the temperature causes frozen desserts to melt?
yes, frozen desserts have a melting point like anything else. If the temperature exceeds that, the dessert will melt.
What natural driving force causes ice to melt spontaneously at room temperature?
The natural driving force that causes ice to melt spontaneously at room temperature is the process of heat transfer. Room temperature is typically higher than the freezing point of ice, so heat from the surroundings is transferred to the ice, raising its temperature and causing it to melt.
What temperature does barium melt at?
Barium melts at 1000 K.
if there is high temperature on the pole then why ice not melt?
It does melt.
Can sodium chloride melt at a very high temperature?
Yes you can melt it. But you want a high temperature.
What temperature does white chocolate melt at?
i believe its thesame as your body temperature that's why it melt in your mouth and pocket
Increasing the melt temperature for a given material is likely to result in?
Increasing the melt temperature the material can be transformed in a gas.
When does skin melt?
Skin does melt at the temperature of 200 degrease C.
Does MDMA melt?
No, MDMA does not melt. It is a solid crystal at room temperature.
What substances melt at room temperature?
ice can melt at room temperature. Anything that is liquid at room temperature would, in its frozen state, melt at room temperature. Oils, beverages and mercury - if in a frozen state - would melt when exposed to room temperature.
Why do the ice cubes melt when the temperature rises?
They melt because the heat in the air is warmer than the temperature of the ice cubes.
What material does not melt at any temperature?
sodium chloride
At what temperature does acrylic melt?
160°
What is a melting points temperature?
melting temperature is when something melt in that time what is the temperature of it.
What temperature does jewelry melt in a safe?
The same temperature it melts at out of a safe.
