Elastomer and Rubber Shapes
Elastomers and rubber shapes are natural or synthetic  polymers that exhibit elastic properties and can be formed into finished or semi-finished stock.  These amorphous polymers are usually thermosets, but are also available as thermoplastics. Elastic polymer (elastomer) and  rubber shapes are available in different forms and sizes, and often use filler materials.
Polymers and Plastic Materials
Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins in the form of pellets, powders or liquid resins. These materials can then be molded into a variety of shapes for a wide range of uses.
