Nylon,charcoal grey. My .02 on this-the pumper or applicator if you will just didnt work well at all. Not sure why. I just ended up dumping all the contents into the glovebox and shook it around. I lost a lot of the fuzzies because of that and had none left. A little bummed at that point because yes I got coverage but I was expecting a nice thick fuzzy surface and mine was more like a burr cut. Secondly the fibers were all clumped when you receive them. You have  to sift them through a screen first. I didnt pay attn when I ordered my kit but maybe the more expensive one was the way to go.Not sure.After letting it sit for a day to dry I was a little less critical of the results.It's a glovebox after all. I think the pic shows the results well. I did price EIS for the job. They want $150 for the job. My car is nice but not Pebble Beach nice if you know what I mean. The color is what I wanted and it is a far cry from where it was. YRMV.
