Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking or deformation.Utilize oversized holes and consider using neoprene washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and tighten fasteners to a snug fit rather than maximum torque.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can craze or cloud the polycarbonate surface.Employ mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive cloths or solvents.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Temperature-Controlled Enclosures
  • Pressure Vessel Sight Glasses
  • HVAC Components
  • Gasketing for Sealed Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkalis and certain organic solvents, which can degrade the material.
