  1. oh, these "pre-prepared test objects"... marketing, meaningless and merciless. Comparing glass and polycarbonate not designed to be scratch resistant? Why not mica or toilet paper? The point is to give the person the feeling of "wow, this is so durable." Although if you use ordinary window glass instead of polycarbonate, there will be almost no difference unless you use a cutter. pressing through the sample... it is enough for some samples to make a substrate with a thinner material in the center, and for others - vice versa, and now it is extremely easy for you to break one sample and difficult to break another - although they may contain the same glass. The drop test is also completely false. leave a little space between the glass and the base, or vice versa, glue it - and the same sample will break from a low height and remain intact from a higher one. also, why do you need abrasive paper? This is not even close to “asphalt”, it is FLAT, and the particles and its components will not particularly affect the results of the experiment - it is just a distraction for the viewer, like magicians. it is not scientific, and therefore should be subject to ten times more criticism. if in order to show you the “advantages” of their product they lie to you right from the very beginning, they want to deceive you. Conducting experiments correctly should have increased trust in them... but either marketers can no longer help but lie, or they are afraid that we will see the results that they cannot justify the price of their products. And yes, I very much doubt that when using glass for windows in ancient times they thought “it will retain heat” or “it will protect against insects” - because work with glass began in more developed regions where there are no problems with the temperature outside - after all, the easier it was to get food, the more time was left for the development of the rudiments of industry.
