Plastic plates are made of melted plastic pellets. The melted plastic is forced into a mold, where it forms the plate and cools. Another material used for plastic plates is called Melmac. This process is basically the same, but the product is a resin called melamine.

What is a hair straightener made of?

Answer 1
The hair straightener is made of metal & plastic.
Answer 2
It depends on the quality of the hair straightener.
Poor quality straighteners are made of plastic with metal
plates.
Good quality straighteners are made of plastic with ceramic
plates.
The plastic used in straighteners is specifically designed to
withstand heat.
Ceramic plates allow the straighteners to run smoothly over the
hair without risk of burning or pulling the hair out, which you get
with metal plates.
