    This is very simply tested. 30x microscope is more than sufficient to observed microscopic and macroscopic damage.

    A quick internet search: TFE (Teflon), which is known for being soft (Shore D 50-60) and waxy. Harder, more rigid plastics include PEEK, Polycarbonate, Nylon, Acetal (POM), PCTFE and UHMW-PE.

    Practically any utencil can catch some burnt food and become abrasive instantly. LOL. We’re just scratching the plastics into our food every day.
