Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without consideration for thermal expansion.Employ oversized holes or slotted fasteners to accommodate polycarbonate's thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress build-up.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water, or specialized polycarbonate cleaners, to avoid scratching or damaging the surface.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Machine Guards
  • Lighting Fixture Lenses
  • Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 250°F (121°C).
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
