bendy plastic

[thecadman3]

Hi,

Can somebody please tell me what type of plastic this is moulded (the arm that clips over the chair)from and the moulding method? I assume some sort of Polymer that is injection moulded?

I cant find a bigger picture so I hope this is enough..

]

I need to design a bendy component using this material.

Thanks

My first guess would be injection molded polypropylene.
There are other possibilities.

If you want to find out what was used in that particular part, buy a sample and measure their mechanical and thermal properties.
