Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use oversized holes or slots and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact; employ washers.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner and soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged contact with certain solvents which can cause crazing or degradation.
  • Allow for thermal expansion in mounting designs to prevent buckling or stress fractures.
