I've been writing an article on plastic, and I need some help.
Polycarbonate scratches very easily, but it's possible to buy it with a coating on it to prevent/limit scratching. It's also possible to buy a product and coat it yourself.
It's EXTREMELY difficult to get anyone to tell me exactly what the coating is made of, but I did get my hands on an MSDS for one product used to coat polycarbonate. See screenshot. Most plastic companies just say that it's a proprietary concoction.
My question is would this coating dissolve in saltwater if, for example, someone made a tank out of polycarbonate. My article sits in limbo until I can get an answer to this question.
