Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks or deformation.Use proper torque specifications and consider soft washers to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can etch or cloud the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Machine Guards for Lighting Systems
  • Light Diffusers and Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 120°C (248°F) to prevent material degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the optical clarity and surface finish of the polycarbonate.
