Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners which can cause stress cracking.Use oversized holes and slotted fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive polycarbonate cleaner and a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Industrial Enclosures
  • Protective Shields
  • Custom Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use solvents that are incompatible with polycarbonate, as they can cause crazing or cracking.
  • Consider the coefficient of thermal expansion when designing mounting systems and sealing.
