Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or small, potentially causing stress risers and cracking.Employ rounded-head, large-diameter washers with all fasteners to distribute load and minimize stress concentration.
Installing in extreme temperatures without considering material expansion or contraction.Allow for thermal expansion by creating slightly oversized mounting holes and using slotted fasteners where significant temperature fluctuations are expected.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for heavy-duty lifting equipment
  • Impact shields in material handling systems
  • Protective covers for winch mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to UV radiation for prolonged periods without UV protective coatings, as this can degrade material properties.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can scratch or chemically etch the polycarbonate surface, compromising clarity and strength.
