  2. Brasso - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasso

    Brasso has also been used to polish out scratches in plastics: It has been used to polish CDs, DVDs, screens, and pools to repair scratches. It is a mild solvent and an extremely fine abrasive, so when applied to the reflective surface of the disc and rubbed radially (in straight lines between the edge and centre), it can smooth scratches and reduce their effect.

  3. Disc rot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot

    Disc rot is the tendency of CD, DVD, or other optical discs to become unreadable because of chemical deterioration. The causes include oxidation of the reflective layer, reactions with contaminants, ultra-violet light damage, and de-bonding of the adhesive used to adhere the layers of the disc together.

  4. Anti-scratch coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-scratch_coating

    Anti-scratch coating is a type of protective coating or film applied to an object's surface for mitigation against scratches. Scratches are small surface-level cuts left on a surface following interaction with a sharper object. Anti-scratch coatings provide scratch resistances by containing tiny microscopic materials with scratch-resistant ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_handle_bacteria

    The material of the handle itself contributes to the growth of bacteria, with most door handles being constructed of stainless steel – a suitable home for bacteria. The material can affect the time bacteria can survive on door handles, but more important is the temperature and humidity of the environment.

    Phosphate conversion coating is a chemical treatment applied to steel parts that creates a thin adhering layer of iron, zinc, or manganese phosphates to improve corrosion resistance or lubrication or as a foundation for subsequent coatings or painting.

  8. Optical media preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Media_Preservation

    The preservation of optical media is essential because it is a resource in libraries, and stores audio, video, and computer data. While optical discs are generally more reliable and durable than older media types, (magnetic tape, LPs and other records) environmental conditions and/or poor handling can result in lost information.

  9. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

    Stainless steel, also known as "inox steel" does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel. Pierre Berthier , a Frenchman, was the first to notice the rust-resistant properties of mixing chromium with alloys in 1821, which led to new metal treating and metallurgy processes, and eventually the creation of usable stainless steel.
