There is only a one word difference between plastic and plastic, but there is no clear difference in their relationship. The two are like twin brothers, with each other having their own.

Composition:

Plastic is not a pure substance, it is formulated from many materials. Among them, polymer (also known as resin, there are two types of natural resin and synthetic resin) is the main component of plastics. In addition, according to their different processing behaviors, various auxiliary materials need to be added to the polymer, such as fillers, anti-static agents, plasticizers, hardeners, lubricants, antioxidants, stabilizers, coloring agents, etc. So the so-called plastic is actually a type of synthetic resin that has been artificially improved through chemical means.

The definition of plastic: refers to synthetic resins with high molecular weight as the main component, with appropriate additives added, and their main components are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and other organic or inorganic elements. A material that has plasticity and fluidity, can be molded into a certain shape, and remains unchanged in shape under certain conditions.

Although it is easy to confuse plastic and plastic literally, it can be found that the main component in plastic and plastic is also resin through the composition of materials, with only different names.
