Hello,
I looking for some ideas for a moldable clear plastic that's strong...
Here are some of the requirements:
Must be clear
must be able to withstand a load of 350lbs
cheaper the better
No heat requirements
must be lightweight
Please, any suggestions are great. Thanks a bunch.

Lightweight - relative to what
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

There are a lot of factors which will influence material selection.

This will be cleaned on a regular basis so it would need to be chemical resistant. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
This will be used indoors mainly.
Do you know of a common materials library? One that includes all physical properties?

Introducing the human load factor now becomes a very critical design point, not that your other requirements become secondary, but end-user or client safety definitely comes to the forefront.
