Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or short, leading to cracking.Utilize fasteners with a broad, flat head and adequate length. Consider using washers to distribute pressure evenly.
Applying excessive force during tightening of fasteners, causing stress fractures.Hand-tighten fasteners and then turn an additional quarter to half turn. Avoid over-tightening.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Industrial Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
