MaxineThe "acrylic" actually applies to several resins that are derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or other related compounds. For example:
Poly(methyl methacrylate) is a thermoplastic often used in place of glass - sometimes for its light weight and sometimes for its shatter resistance.
Poly(methyl acrylate) is a white rubber at room temperature.
By contrast acrylamide and acrylonitrile acrylics tend to be thermosetting.

Is polyvinyl a thermosetting or thermoforming plastic?
Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic polymer.
Is acrylic thermosetting or thermoplastic plastic?
Acrylic is a thermoplastic
Is polythene a thermosetting or a thermoforming plastic?
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, is a thermoplastic, not a thermosetting plastic. Thermoplastics can be reheated and reshaped multiple times without affecting their properties, while thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical change during heating and cannot be reshaped once set.
Is expanded polystyrene a thermosetting or thermoforming plastic?
Polystyrene is a very poor conductor of heat. This is why its used as an insulator in some products.
