Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and hand-tighten fasteners, only snugging them down to avoid localized pressure points.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive, polycarbonate-specific cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • High-impact glazing and windows
  • Protective barriers in industrial settings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's service limit, which can cause deformation.
