Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Use washers and tighten fasteners only until snug. Allow for thermal expansion if applicable.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the sheet's surface.Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Industrial Sight Glasses
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • Security Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkalis, aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, as these can degrade the material.
  • Thermal expansion and contraction should be accounted for in fixed installations.
