Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize washers and do not over-tighten fasteners. Consider slotted holes for expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shielding
  • Visual Inspection Windows
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • Signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to yellowing and brittleness.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents, such as acetone or MEK, as they can craze or dissolve the polycarbonate.
