Resin is a raw material that can be used to make plastic, so resin is also considered a plastic. Resins and plastics are materials that can be shaped. However, different people may have different opinions about the difference between resin and plastic. In a strict sense, resin is a natural or synthetic amorphous solid substance, and plastic is a product made of resin plus some other additives (such as fillers, plasticizers and pigments). Therefore, it can be said that resin is a raw material for manufacturing plastics. In some everyday language, sometimes people informally regard resin as a kind of plastic, called "resin plastic".
