    - Plastic is a non-metallic material as it does not carry metal properties like electric conductivity.

    - It can be moulded into any shape.

    - Plastics are natural or synthetic resins, their compounds, which can be used as films or coating.

    - Plastics are of organic nature composed of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.

    - Generally, all materials have the property as plasticity. It is an ability of material to deform irreversibly without breaking.
