Sorry, I'm completely missing your point. The PVA-PVC matrix is an insulator. Static charge on the record surface has nothing to do with turntable grounding. It has everything to do on how the record is handled. Furthermore, biodegradability has nothing to do with residue left behind. It merely defines a substance that can be degraded in the environment (e.g. enzymatic digestion by microorganisms). Time is not a real factor...put oil on your hand and tell me how long it takes to coat the skin. Detergents by their vary nature (containing long aliphatic chains) form a molecular layer on surfaces that remains even after washing with water (or most hydrophilic solvents). This can be beneficial as it can provide lubrication. It can detrimental if it carries a charge (increasing susceptibility to static buildup). These phenomena are unrelated to turntable grounding.
No....
I'm saying that you are purporting a fallacy by saying that all biodegradable liquids won't rinse completely clean when generations of audiophiles have done so !!! There are many such detergents that fall applicably true to that assumption which is narrow by definition. There is one such liquid that is organic, has no solvents, no sulphates and leaves no residues and mothers with severely allergic children use this soap. It's presumptuous of you to think that any substance that shares a significant resemblance to another must be the same,
