While acrylic is a plastic, not all plastic is acrylic. The term acrylic represents a family of petroleum-based thermoplastics made from the derivation of natural gas. Another common name for acrylic is polyacrylate which is one of the most common types.
The word plastic describes a classification of synthetic or semi-synthetic polymers. Acrylic plastics are made with acrylic acid, and one such synthetic polymer is polymethyl methacrylate sold under the brand names of Plexiglas, Lucite, Perspex, and Crystallite.
