Stupid fact: Nylon was GE plastics trade name that was generisized. The actual chemical name is polyamid. Lexan is a GE Plastics trade name. The appropriate way to use the name would be Lexan Polycarbonate.

Stupid fact 2: Themros Inc was devasted by the trade name Thermos being generisized as a term for a vacuum bottle.
