Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally, avoiding excessive torque.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade the polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water or a polycarbonate-specific cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Custom guards for lifting equipment
  • Wear plates in material handling systems
  • Protective shields for pulling mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.
