Depends on how you define "plastic". Most people call any
non-metal
material a plastic, but it may be a fiberglass, or other polymer
material. There are some really good ones that will last for many
years.

OTOH, he also states they are cheap. In reality, they can be quite
pricey.


You have a favorite one?

I already posted a link to Swanstone sinks.

Actually I meant fiberglass or polymer.

Resins are out due to breathing problems of a family member.

Pardon? What do you think holds the glass fibers together in
fiberglass? It's fiberglass re-enforced plastic, and the binder is a
resin - generally polyester, occaisionally vynilester, or more often
Epoxy.


You are correct. Welcome to the wonderful world of chemical
sensitives. :'(

I can leave plastic outside for a month or two to out gas.

If you have chemical sensitivities you have no excuse for installing
anything other than stainless steel, porcelain coated steel, or
vitreous china.

Don't be stupid. Not to mention, any one of the three will outlast
plastic (of ANY kind) about 2 or 3 to one, minimum under normal use.
Just don't drop your pick-ax in the sink while you are picking tartar
off your teeth!!!

Stainless is perfect, but expensive.
Of course but money's worth.
