I have a small business making dog boxes for cars. They're made out of 5mm thick polypropylene, welded at the corners, and with an aluminium frame front and back to hold the doors. www.hundgubbe.se/hundburar.html
Of course, being polypropylene they're as tough as old boots, with virtually no chance of breaking, splitting etc. The problem I have though, is when describing them as made of plastic, many people think of the thin plastic boxes that you use to take your cat or dog to the vet. So when people see them, they're usually very pleasantly surprised that they're thick,solid and rigid, not thin and 'plasticky'.
So what I want to do is try and avoid the term 'plastic' as it has connotations of a cheap, flimsy, carrier bag type material. I'm thinking in terms of 'co-polymer' 'compsosite', 'thermo' etc. Any ideas?
