Plastic is a moldable synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids.They are organic polymers of high molecular mass with inclusion of other substances.With better mechanical and thermal properties than usually used commodity plastics ,Engineering plastics are produced in lower quantities,more expensive and tend to be used for smaller objects or low-volume applications such as mechanical parts, rather than for bulk and high-volume ends like containers and packaging.
