Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can stress or crack the polycarbonate.Employ oversized holes with washers for fasteners to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and use fasteners specifically designed for plastics.
Applying excessive clamping pressure during installation.Apply only sufficient pressure to ensure a snug fit, avoiding over-tightening which can lead to stress concentrations and potential cracking.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for abrasive processes
  • Protective shields for polishing equipment
  • High-impact wear surfaces in industrial machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Use only cleaning agents recommended for polycarbonate; harsh chemicals can cause crazing or surface damage.
