What's the difference between pp and plastic?

PP (polypropylene) is a kind of thermoplastic synthetic resin with excellent properties, which has chemical resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, high mechanical properties and good wear resistance. Because of these characteristics, polypropylene is widely used in many fields. Specifically, PP is mainly used to manufacture automobile parts, electrical housings, packaging materials and other fields.

Plastic is a widely used material, which can cover many different kinds of polymer compounds. Plastics have a wide range of applications, such as automobiles, electrical appliances, furniture, building materials and so on. Specifically, plastic can be used to make plastic pipes, plastic furniture, plastic tableware and so on.

There are many differences between PP and plastic. Here are some aspects I think:

Type: PP refers to polymer polypropylene, while plastics are polymer compounds polymerized by addition polymerization or polycondensation, and there are many kinds.

Composition: PP is a kind of thermoplastic synthetic resin with excellent performance, and it is a colorless and translucent thermoplastic lightweight general plastic. The main component of plastic is resin.

Properties: PP has chemical resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, high-strength mechanical properties and good wear resistance. Plastics are mainly used in rosin, shellac, plexiglass, polystyrene and so on.

Inclusion relationship: PP is contained in plastic, and plastic is a kind of plastic.

To sum up, PP is a kind of concrete plastic with its specific physical and chemical properties and uses. Plastic is a widely used material, which can cover many different kinds of polymer compounds.
