Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper consideration for polycarbonate's expansion/contraction.Employ oversized holes or slots with neoprene washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress.
Applying harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can degrade the polycarbonate surface.Utilize mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners for maintenance and cleaning.

Common Applications

  • Protective Shields for Pressure Gauges
  • Temperature Control Enclosure Covers
  • Custom Machine Guarding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive localized heat, which can cause deformation or degradation.
