Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to spider cracking or deformation.Use washers and tighten fasteners gradually and evenly, stopping once snug. Avoid over-torqueing.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive chemicals, ammonia, or solvents.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel sight glasses
  • Temperature control system enclosures
  • Machine guards in high-impact areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions, as they can cause chemical attack.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they will scratch the surface.
