Is Polyamide-8 vegan?
Polyamide-8
Polyamide-8 is a copolymer of ethylenediamine, neopentyl glycol and hydrogenated dilinoleic acid end-blocked with stearyl alcohol; the dilinoleic acid component is typically derived from plant oils, but it is often paired with animal-derived stearyl alcohol depending on source, so classification requires care.
