Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without phenolic washers.Always use phenolic washers with metal fasteners to distribute stress and prevent stress cracking of the polycarbonate.
Exposing the sheet to continuous temperatures above 250°F.Operate within the specified continuous temperature range of -40°F to 250°F to maintain material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for sensing equipment in filtration lines
  • Custom fabricated filter housings and frames
  • Light diffusion and optical components in industrial inspection systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents and alkalis, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
