Slice off a small sample.
Set it on fire with a lighter or similar.
If it froths, burns with a blue flame with yellow tips that goes out if left
alone and smells of burnt wool, then it's nylon.
For other ones, google for something like <plastic identification burns nylon

Or use this one:-

The system worked for me when trying to identify the material that the broken
HLV dial was made from.
