Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-impact areas.Always select polycarbonate for applications requiring superior impact strength and shatter resistance, especially in industrial heating and cooling environments.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use appropriate washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening polycarbonate sheets to prevent premature failure.

Common Applications

  • HVAC system components and housings
  • Protective guards for heating elements
  • Transparent covers for cooling units

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Use only cleaning agents specifically recommended for polycarbonate to prevent surface damage or chemical attack.
