Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fastenersUse washers and tighten fasteners snugly but not excessively to prevent stress concentrations and potential cracking.
Using incompatible cleaning agentsClean only with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products that can damage the polycarbonate surface.

Common Applications

  • Structural bracing in machinery enclosures
  • Support components for suspended systems
  • Protective shielding in industrial settings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation around the installed sheet to prevent heat buildup.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme UV radiation for prolonged periods without UV-protective coatings, as it may degrade material properties over time.
