Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners leading to stress cracks.Utilize oversized holes for fasteners and allow for expansion gaps, or use specialized polycarbonate-compatible fasteners.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean only with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials and solvents.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Custom enclosures and housings
  • High-impact glazing and protective windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May scratch more easily than glass; handle with care during fabrication and installation.
  • Thermal expansion should be accounted for in design and mounting to prevent warping or stress.
