Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use a torque wrench to apply fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification, or hand-tighten to a snug fit.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the polycarbonate surface and degrade optical properties.Clean with a mild soap and water solution, followed by a rinse with clean water and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Common Applications

  • Optical filtering components
  • Protective covers for sensing equipment
  • Substrates for specialized filtration membranes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to prolonged UV radiation without appropriate UV-protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not expose to harsh solvents or chemicals not listed as compatible with polycarbonate, as this may cause damage or degradation.
