Thermoplastic polymers.
Explanation:
Thermoplastic polymers are long chains of hydrocarbons with intermolecular forces between the chains, which means they can be melted down into a viscous liquid with heat and then reformed into some other shape.
By contrast, thermosetting polymers form chemical bonds between chains, which cannot be melted down easily.
