Default Which plastic?

Hardinge uses a white plastic on the dials on their lathes. This
palstic has been used for years so it must hold up well to machine
shop environments. Does anybody here know just what kind of plastic it
is? I know it is not Delrin because Delrin is too soft. I want to make
some new dials for a lathe and the white plastic would be perfect.
Thanks,
Eric
