Many customers realize the difference between a resin button and a plastic button. Strictly speaking, a resin button can be called a plastic button, and a plastic button can also be called a resin button. How to distinguish between resin buttons and plastic buttons.

Distinguish between resin and plastic: Resin usually refers to the range of softening or melting after being heated, and tends to flow under external force when softened, and is a solid, semi-solid, and sometimes liquid organic polymer at room temperature. Broadly speaking, any polymer that can be used as a raw material for processing plastic products is called a resin. Plastic refers to a resin (or a monomer directly polymerized during processing) as a main component, and additives such as plasticizers, fillers, lubricants, colorants, etc., as auxiliary components, and materials that can be flow-formed during processing. . From this it can be seen that the resin is one of the raw materials for plastics and the plastic is the finished product of the resin. In other words, the unformed resin is plastic and it is plastic after molding.
The difference between a resin button and a plastic button is the difference in processing methods, rather than the difference between the resin and the plastic itself. The resin button is formed by heating, cooling, solidifying, cutting, etc., the liquid material through a special tube or the like, or after being solidified by coating a liquid resin on the surface of the drum, and then stamping and forming, and then entering the subsequent processing; and the plastic button is It consists of solid materials, most of which are resin pellets, injection molded by injection molding machines and molds.
Due to the different processing methods, the finished products will have different effects: the resin buttons will have a smooth surface and a thick appearance, and they will be used in a relatively wide range. The plastic buttons, because of the advancement of mold technology, will be ever-changing, and they will be more easily electroplated than resin buttons. In the button classification, many distributors or websites do not clearly distinguish one from the other, and a clear distinction is made between a resin button and a plastic button button.
