Plastic is a synthetic material made from a wide range of organic polymers such as polyethylene, PVC, nylon, etc., that can be molded into shape while soft and then set into a rigid or slightly elastic form.
Rubber is a tough elastic polymeric substance made from the latex of a tropical plant or synthetically.
Hard rubber is a rubber that is stiff and relatively inflexible. It is made by vulcanizing natural rubber with a high percentage of sulfur.
