Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers to distribute load and avoid direct contact with sharp edges; allow for thermal expansion.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can craze the Polycarbonate surface.Employ mild soap and water or specialized Polycarbonate cleaners only.

Common Applications
