Synthetic polymer is often referred to as "plastic", such as the well-known polyethylene and nylon. However, most of them can be classified in at least three main categories: thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers.

The Rhodia Novecare personal care industry also uses synthetic polymer to aid in texture of products, binding, and moisture retention (e.g. in hair gel and conditioners).
