Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper spacing, leading to stress points.Utilize oversized holes and neoprene washers with fasteners to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, distributing stress evenly.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Employ mild soap and water with a soft cloth for cleaning. For stubborn marks, use a plastic cleaner specifically designed for polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for machinery and equipment
  • Custom jigs and fixtures in polishing operations
  • Durable substrates for surface finishing processes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to chemical attack from certain solvents; consult material compatibility charts before use.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation over time.
