Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly, avoiding excessive torque.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or solvents.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Sight glasses and viewing windows
  • Pressure vessel components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use in applications involving prolonged contact with strong alkalis or certain solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
