Polymerized Gel
Polymerized Gel is an upgrade material in Arknights, introduced alongside Episode 06.
An artificial material created from a large number of experiments using coagulating gel as a base material. It can maintain its stability even in high-pressure environments, playing a key role in some high-tech projects.
Usage
The second of the Gel-type upgrade materials, Polymerized Gel is essentially a more stable and potent derivative of Coagulating Gel that is used for the skill Mastery training and Elite 2 promotion of certain Operators introduced from Episode 06 onwards.
Its stability at high temperatures make the Polymerized Gel a necessary material for the production of Crystalline Electronic Units.

Trivia
Due to a programming mistake, the Polymerized Gel, along with Coagulating Gel, 
Incandescent Alloy, and 
Incandescent Alloy Block, are available as early as the Code of Brawl event on the JP and KR servers, but only as byproducts of Workshop upgrade material processing, which caused the event's update maintenance on both servers to be extended by 4 hours to rectify this.
