CO2 + High humidity = transperent substance?
Does it stay like thay when you remove the pressure and take it to the normal air? if yes, then it is likely co2 is being absorbed into the plastic part, and that plastic part is swelling. You can avoid it by using a glass window for optical sensor. Or use H2O permeable but not CO2 permeable membrane if this sensor needs contact with the gas. Or use another type of sensor that does not contain this plastic. Or reduce CO2 pressure. I dont know any CO2+H2O compounds that would stay stable and solid at normal pressure. Methanol could be forming from those materials if energy is present, but it needs catalyst and is very unlikely to happen on its own.
