What type of plastic does RPM use on their vintage RC10 stuff?

That type of info is usually a company formula, usually not publicly announced. Suffice to say, it's a nylon blend of some type, what other polymers they add, I doubt they will advertise. I know that peroxide will yellow or green any faded white parts, so some detective work on the effects of peroxide on other plastic might clue you in to what else they stuck in the batch.
