Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper pre-drilling or washers.Pre-drill holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter and use rubber-lined washers to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent stress concentration.
Exposing the material to harsh chemicals without verifying compatibility.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate before exposing it to solvents or aggressive cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty protective shipping enclosures
  • Industrial machine guards
  • Impact-resistant transparent barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they can damage the surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to avoid overheating and potential melting.
