Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use appropriate washers and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for slight thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner and a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Impact shields for conveyors
  • Protective barriers in warehousing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis and certain organic solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or brushes that can scratch the surface.
