Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly, stopping at snug rather than maximum torque.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can etch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Employ only mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Industrial control panels and displays
  • Pressure vessel sight glasses
  • Temperature-sensitive equipment shielding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not expose to chemicals known to attack polycarbonate (e.g., certain solvents, strong acids/bases) unless explicitly tested for compatibility.
