Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Use spaced fasteners with neoprene washers and tighten only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean only with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • HVAC system enclosures
  • Fan shrouds and guards
  • Protective glazing for control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's service limit.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning, as they can degrade the surface.
