Plastic that is clear is not modified to be clear. It is simply a plastic that is naturally clear that you do not add any pigment to. So lots of the nontransparent plastic that is used is transparent plastic mixed with pigment to the appropriate color.

Loss of material is naturally transparent if there they are solid without any air gaps. Glass, sugar, salt. gypsum, water etc.

If a material is transparent depends on how the atomic structure of the material. It is about if the energy levels an electron can be excited to be in the range of the energy of a photon of visible light. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omr0JNyDBI0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omr0JNyDBI0)
