Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use clamping systems or oversized holes with appropriate washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and avoid direct over-tightening.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Common Applications

  • HVAC system enclosures and guards
  • Machine guards for heating and cooling equipment
  • Thermal insulation barriers and sight glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Consult chemical compatibility charts before exposure to specific solvents or cleaning agents.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV-resistant coatings if outdoor application is intended.
