Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the sheet; allow for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Machine Guards for Electrical Equipment
  • Light Diffusers and Fixture Lenses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the surface finish and structural integrity.
