Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansion, leading to stress and cracking.Employ oversized holes or slots for fasteners and utilize washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
Employing aggressive cleaning solvents that can degrade the polycarbonate surface.Utilize mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners for maintenance.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Glazing
  • Industrial Signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
