Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners directly into the polycarbonate.Use oversized holes with washers or spacers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and to prevent localized stress concentration.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools.Clean with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents that can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Protective Covers and Enclosures
  • Glazing for Industrial Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to scratching; use appropriate protective films during handling and fabrication.
