Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use hand-tightening or a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification, and employ appropriate washers to distribute load.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a manufacturer-approved polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cloths.

Common Applications

  • Industrial liquid and gas filtration housings
  • Clear protective barriers in controlled environments
  • Optical components in sensing and inspection systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific chemicals used in the filtration process before installation.
