What type of plastic are combs made from? Particularly those black plastic Conair ones.
I believe most combs are made of nylon. I can’t speak to Conair, specifically
I though nylon is too bendable, they make clothes out of it. Do they add something to make it more rigid?
Nylon is actually quite strong for a plastic. It’s only bendable in clothes because the fibers are so tiny.
Glass-filled nylon is an “engineering plastic” - it’s strong enough to make machine parts out of, but I doubt anyone is using that to make combs.
some combs are made out of acetate, in addition to the aforementioned nylon.
I’d assume they’re made of Hard Rubber, like this Ace comb.
Upon further reading, those Ace combs are plastic, not hard rubber, which appears to be more scarce than I thought.
