Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a polycarbonate-specific cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Filter housing construction
  • Protective guards for filtration machinery
  • Sight glasses in fluid processing
  • Optical components in analytical filtration

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without UV inhibitors, as it may degrade over time.
  • Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material's surface.
