Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and cracking.Use washers and do not overtighten. Allow for a slight gap for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface finish.Clean with mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaners only.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Machine Guards
  • Lighting Diffusers
  • Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged direct sunlight without UV-resistant coating if color stability is critical.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkalis, ketones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
