What type of plastic is used for frames?

[areessea]

If anyone on here knows what type of plastic is used for frames or soulplates i would really appreciate it. I am working on a design project right now for school and am looking to make some prototypes in the next few weeks.

UHMw or some type of teflon coated I would guess

nylon, delrin, kevlar, sometimes infused with glass
depends on the brand

I've done a lot with uhmw but it just doesnt work how i want it to. That was really helpful in finding some raw materials that i am going to mess around with. thanks.
