In practice, sticky and coating-prone materials gradually turn sensitivity into instability\u2014creating false alarms, missed detection, and growing maintenance burden.<\/p><hr data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"675\" \/><h2 data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"720\">The Hidden Challenge of Sticky Materials<\/h2><p data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"863\">Sticky materials rarely remain consistent over time.

data-end=\"982\"><li data-start=\"890\" data-end=\"911\"><p data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"911\">Polymers and resins<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"912\" data-end=\"933\"><p data-start=\"914\"
