Meaning of Plastics

What are Plastics?

Plastics are produced from petroleum products known as monomers. When a great number of monomers are combined through chemical reactions, polymers are formed. It is this polymer that is referred to as plastics.

The process of combining monomers is known as polymerization. The major component of plastic is resin. Resin is a material that softens, flows, and can be moulded.
