Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Utilize pre-drilled oversized holes and consider using neoprene washers to distribute pressure evenly.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, and a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields and Barriers
  • Industrial Glazing and Skylights
  • Signage and Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to chemical attack from certain solvents and cleaning agents. Consult compatibility charts before use.
  • While highly impact-resistant, avoid direct impacts from extremely sharp or heavy objects that could exceed its load-bearing capacity.
