Vollkunststoff

Deutsch > Englisch Technik Materialien/Werkstoffe (Kunststoffe, Keramik usw.) Certifications
Hi all,

this is from a test certificate for a pressure vessel - hopefully the last question on this topic....

The entire sentence reads:

"Angaben zur Anlage:
Werkstoff:  Stahl  Alu  Verbund  Vollkunststoff"

(the s are tick boxes on the form)

I understand what is meant i.e. solid plastic (as opposed to composite) but I am looking for a fitting translation.

Thank you!

solid plastic

What's your problem with the widely used "solid plastic" (you've mentioned this yourself)?

All plastic

My suggestion here (although it is more commonly used as a modifier - all-plastic vessel, etc.)

See this similar example:

Guidance for the storage of liquids in intermediate bulk containers
All metal
e.g. Stainless Steel/Mild Steel/Aluminium
All plastic
Composite (usually plastic with a wire or tubular frame)
