Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansion.Utilize oversized holes or slotted brackets to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of polycarbonate due to temperature fluctuations.
Cleaning the polycarbonate with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Clean using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface.

Common Applications

  • Protective Glazing for HVAC Equipment
  • Machine Guards in Manufacturing Facilities
  • Sight Glasses for Industrial Processes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's operating limit.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents, as they can cause surface damage.
