Besides the obvious micro-abrasives (melamine), are these ingredients really as stable and non-toxic in combination as this article suggests, bearing in mind we are using them inside saltwater tanks and the article is only addressing general home cleaning?
We use them in finalizing custom home finishes and they have worked like magic in that application. We always thought it was a chemical product but noticed that used on a flat painted surface it can buff a sheen after more than 2-3 wipes, and can dull a high sheen with the same number of wipes. Looking it up we found it worked mechanically by way of the melanine dust (which needs to be wiped from any surface sheen afterwards).
Now I'm seeing a lot of posts where ppl use them inside acrylic tanks with no ill effects. This is great news if it is really safe.
Looking up the effects of melamine dust I came across this article which listed these additional ingredients. What do the chemists think?
