Chemical Reactions used in making plastic?

I need at least three chemical reactions used during the process of making plastic. I don't care what part, but I need the total balanced equation.

Answer:

You need to decide what kind of plastic you are making, so you can identify your raw materials. Are you making a plastic using formaldehyde and urea? (this is actually a common plastic). Are you making a plastic using ethylene oxide? Are you making an epoxy? Then you can search the web for the chemical reactions.
