Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to surface cracking or stress fractures.Use hand-tightening for fasteners and employ a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification, if available. Ensure washers are used to distribute load.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface and reduce clarity.Clean the polycarbonate with a mild soap and water solution, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Shields and Barriers
  • Impact-Resistant Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use for applications involving direct contact with corrosive chemicals without verifying material compatibility.
  • Avoid exposing the material to extreme temperatures beyond its specified operating range, as this can compromise structural integrity.
