my projection tv IS scratch resistant, but not scratch proof virtually scratch resistant, is that just normal, or on the edge of being scratch resistant, ... I don't get it. |
Re: Transparent aluminum
Well, fire a round of bullets at it and there might be some scratches.

Re: Transparent aluminum
Scratch Resistant -- It will repel scratches under normal circumstances but a heavy amount of force could sustain a scratch
Scratch Proof - It is totally impervious to any type of scratch. Just read an article about the difference between Water Resistant and Water Proof material.... and just switched it out for SCRATCH. |
Re: Transparent aluminum
yeah, but to brag about ALMOST being repel scratches under normal circumstances .... isn't good, cause it means you still can't repel them under normal circumstances.

Re: Transparent aluminum
yeah, nevermind, it was on this Bohr model stuff, I had to draw the atomic structure, all the electrons and neutrons and label everything.
example: Basic Information Name: Aluminum Symbol: Al Atomic Number: 13 Atomic Mass: 26.981539 amu Melting Point: 660.37 °C (933.52 K, 1220.666 °F) Boiling Point: 2467.0 °C (2740.15 K, 4472.6 °F) Number of Protons/Electrons: 13 Number of Neutrons: 14 Classification: Other Metals Crystal Structure: Cubic Density @ 293 K: 2.702 g/cm3 Color: Silver British Spelling: Aluminium IUPAC Spelling: Aluminium Atomic Structure: ![]() |
