Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks or distortion.Use fasteners with neoprene washers and tighten them just enough to secure the sheet without excessive pressure.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Protective enclosures for electrical equipment
  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Lighting fixture covers and diffusers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use sharp objects for cutting or scoring as they can initiate cracks.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's specified maximum operating temperature to prevent deformation.
