What is the purpose of adding a “plasticizer” chemical to nylon when made on a commercial scale? What will eventually happen to the nylon you synthesized (in lab), since there was no plasticizer added?

I recently performed a lab on Chemical Equilibrium. Here is some background on the experiment: -We made a stock solution by combining Fe(NO3)3 and NH4SCN. This made a blood red solution. Then, we added different reagents to see the change of color and the shift of equilibrium. I'm being asked the following question: Based on the color of solutions reported, determine the direction of the reaction's: Fe^3+(aq)+SCN^- --> [FeSCN]^2+(aq) equilibrium shift upon each addition of each reagent investigated and write...
