Plastic material refers to polymer compounds synthesized from fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas.
Plastic materials consist of high-molecular-weight polymer compounds with chain-like or network-like structures. These polymers melt when heated, exhibiting fluidity. This property allows them to be molded into various shapes by pouring them into molds.
Plastic materials are used in a wide range of applications including automotive parts, household appliances, food packaging, construction materials, medical devices, and daily necessities. These materials are manufactured using various methods, such as polymerization, polycondensation, and polymer modification.
