The difference between resin and plastics

The difference between resin and plastics

Answer:

Resin: refers to the raw materials, such as polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyester resin, etc., but in general, plastic and resin two terms can be common. So, it can be said that plastic is resin, and resin is plastic. Thus, the resin is one of the raw materials of plastic, plastic is the finished product of resin. In other words, the resin is not formed and molded into plastic.
Resin material: it is natural, extracted from plants, the cost is higher. Plastic: it is chemical material, extracted from petroleum, Chen is lower
Plastic refers to the resin (or in the process of using monomer polymerization) as the main ingredient, such as plasticizers, fillers, lubricants, additives such as colorants as auxiliary components, can flow in the process of forming materials, but also can be said to be material with resin as the main raw material and has plasticity and product. Plastic generally refers to finished products, such as plastic cups, plastic bowls and so on.
