Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard solvents that can craze polycarbonate.Employ only polycarbonate-specific cleaners or mild soap and water for cleaning to avoid material degradation.
Drilling holes too close to edges without proper support.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes and consider reinforcing points of high stress to prevent cracking.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective shields
  • Custom enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
