Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can cause stress concentrations and cracking.Utilize oversized or slotted holes with appropriate washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress buildup.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Employ soft cloths and mild soap solutions or specialized polycarbonate cleaners to maintain surface integrity and optical clarity.

Common Applications

  • Protective Machine Guarding
