Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners during installation.Use washers and do not overtighten screws. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by using slotted holes if necessary.
Using abrasive cleaning agents.Clean polycarbonate with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive cleaners which can damage the surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields & Barriers
  • Industrial Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and brittleness.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive bending or stretching beyond its elastic limit to prevent premature failure.
