Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fastenersUse washers and tighten fasteners only until snug to prevent cracking or distortion of the polycarbonate.
Using abrasive cleaning agentsClean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, to avoid scratching the surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective barriers
  • Industrial glazing
  • Sight glasses
  • Environmental enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV radiation without appropriate UV protection, as it can lead to yellowing or degradation over time.
  • Do not use harsh chemical solvents such as acetone, toluene, or chlorinated hydrocarbons, as they can attack and damage the polycarbonate material.
