Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing spider cracking or stress fractures.Use washers and do not overtighten screws. Allow for thermal expansion by using slotted holes if necessary.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can dull or damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive products.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Machine Guards
  • Lighting Fixtures & Covers
  • Signage & Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged direct sunlight without UV protection if outdoor use is intended and UV resistance is not specified for long-term exposure.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkalis, ketones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
