Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking and reduced lifespan.Use washers with fasteners and tighten just enough to create a snug fit, allowing for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive polycarbonate cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Sight glasses for pressure vessels
  • Protective covers for temperature sensors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications without proper engineering analysis.
