You need to be a little more specific...do you want Plexiglass or Lexan? 
Saran wrap? Cellophane? The injection molded brittle stuff 
(polystyrene?) that they use for CD jewel cases? What kind of object are 
you trying to do?
If you look in the include files, there are several transparent plastic 
textures. You could start with a glass texture and use soft highlights, 
angle dependant reflection might also help.
