Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can cause stress cracking.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for polycarbonate, such as those with large washers or spaced mounting points, to distribute load and prevent cracking.
Aggressive cleaning agents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner to avoid surface degradation and maintain optical clarity.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Filtration Housings
  • Optical Sensor Protection
  • Machine Guarding and Sight Shields
  • Protective Windows in Harsh Environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to solvents not compatible with polycarbonate, as this can lead to crazing or degradation.
  • Thermal expansion should be considered during installation, especially in applications with significant temperature fluctuations.
