Electrode potential in seawater (volts vs SCE) for metals and alloys from the ASM/MIL-STD-889 galvanic series, and surface energy (dyne/cm) for plastics and packaging materials. Answers 'will these two materials corrode each other' and 'will this adhesive wet this plastic'.

Provenance — what every record carries

Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.

Licence position

Factual compilation with source citations. Galvanic series from ASM Handbook Vol. 13 and MIL-STD-889 (US government, public domain). Surface energy data from kolorguide.com.

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
