Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-impact applications.Always select polycarbonate for applications requiring superior impact resistance and durability.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize properly sized fasteners and avoid excessive torque when securing the polycarbonate sheet.

Common Applications

  • Custom measuring gauges
  • Inspection fixture components
  • Protective windows for sensitive equipment
  • Templates and patterns

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive chemicals, as this can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
