What's the difference between plastic and resin?
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.
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: 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.
Plastic, as its name suggests, refers to plastic material. The main component of plastics is synthetic resin. The basic raw material of synthetic resin, ethylene, propylene, is Ding Erxi, acetylene, benzene, toluene and xylene as low molecular organic compounds, they are mainly derived from petroleum, natural gas, coal, calcium carbide, salt and other natural resources.We add some additives in the resin to produce different properties of plastic to meet the different needs of people.
