Plastic fabrication is the process of synthesizing plastic, a polymer compound, using fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas as raw materials.
There are primarily two methods in this manufacturing process: polymerization and polycondensation. Polymerization involves chemically reacting monomers, which are small molecules, to synthesize plastic. Monomers like ethylene and propylene are polymerized using catalysts to produce plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene. On the other hand, polycondensation synthesizes polymers by eliminating water molecules from two or more molecules.
Plastic fabrication is utilized in various applications such as automotive parts, household appliances, food packaging, construction materials, medical devices, and daily necessities. Plastic products are known for their lightweight, strength, durability, processability, electrical insulation, and waterproof properties.
