What are plastic materials extracted from?

Answer:

Plastic is made of petroleum or natural gas as raw material, through refining, cracking into a variety of petrochemical raw materials (monomer), and then through polymerization (adding polymerization or condensation polymerization) derived from high polymer resin.
All kinds of plastics are gradually processed to produce various kinds of downstream products, including rubber, coating, finishing agent, artificial fiber, synthetic resin and so on.Resin usually refers to softening or melting range after heating. When softening, it tends to flow under external force. At normal temperature, it is solid, semi solid, and sometimes liquid organic polymer.
Broadly speaking, any polymer compound that can be used as plastic material for processing raw materials is called resin. Resin is the main raw materials for the manufacture of plastics, paint is also used the system (the main film-forming material, coating such as alkyd resin, acrylic resin, synthetic fatty acid resin, the resin in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta are also relatively strong in the paint industry, such as Changxin chemical, Nuplex resin, three resin, Ying DSM syntech resins), adhesives, insulating material, synthetic resin in industrial production, is widely used in separation and purification of impurities in liquid, with macroporous adsorption resin, ion exchange resin, and some special resin.
