I was unable to find anything definitive googling around. It FEELS like and works like a very polymerized nylon of some kind - it has a kind of slickness, and seems to have a certain amount of give and toughness, doesn't chip. It is a bit harder to work on than hard rubber, but not impossible. However, they seem to have solved the problem of "plastic memory", i.e. the difficulty encountered trying to make precision parts out of such materials (if you have some stresses within the material it tends to distort over time).

for your chemistry recollection. Don
