exterior car hatchback plastic part questions [View all]

I have a 2008 Prius. The outer hatchback handle has a black section made of some kind of black non-metal material. It is degrading and if I open the hatchback, I get melty black gunk across my fingers. What is that part of the handle called? What is the composition of that part of the handle? What can I use to get it off my fingers? I tried soap and water, olive oil, nailpolish remover and 70% alcohol, then soap and water again. Most of it is gone, but I didn't think any of the products did the job.

Any help is appreciated.
