Deutsch: Kunststoff / Español: Plástico / Português: Plástico / Français: Plastique / Italiano: Plastica
In an industrial context, plastic is a synthetic material that is made from polymer resins and is used in a wide range of applications. Plastic is a versatile material that can be molded into various shapes and sizes, has good strength and durability, and is relatively inexpensive to produce.
Plastic in the industrial context refers to a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that are used in a vast array of applications across various industries. These materials are primarily made from organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances to improve performance or reduce costs. Plastics are malleable (usually forming solids under normal conditions), which allows them to be molded, extruded, or pressed into solid objects of various shapes, making them highly versatile materials for manufacturing.
A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of luminescence; it emits light when exposed to some type of radiant energy. The term is used both for fluorescent or phosphorescent substances which glow on exposure to ultraviolet or visible light, and cathodoluminescent substances which glow when struck by an electron beam (cathode rays) in a cathode-ray tube.

A projectile is any object projected into space (empty or not) by the exertion of a force. Although any object in motion through space (for example a thrown baseball) may be referred to as a projectile, the term more commonly refers to a ranged weapon.[1][2] Mathematical equations of motion are used to analyze projectile trajectory.
Plush (from French peluche) is a textile having a cut nap or pile the same as fustian or velvet. Its softness of feel gave rise to the adjective "plush" to describe something soft or luxurious, which was extended to describe luxury accommodation, or something rich and full.
