ABSTRACT
Plastics are long-chair compounds or polymers derived from petroleum. Also, mastic an solid to be any of the several chemically produced substances that can be formed into shapes when heated or made into this threads & used to make various artificial fabrics.
It’s part’s is produced by a combination of heating, flowing deformation, chemical reaction & cooling depending on whether the material is thermoplastic or thermosets.
The development of plastic processing come up due to the increase in plastic consumption which increases tremendously as result of wide change of industrial revolution.
Plastic have different applications & methods which depends on the environment & the availability of raw materials, nature is to be subjected to.
In plastic products, what to be produce determines what processing method to be employed & type of processing machine to be used, but generally, plastic production comes in one method.
