Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too small or sharp, leading to stress concentration and cracking.Utilize oversized washers with rounded edges and appropriate thread engagement for secure, stress-free mounting.
Exposing the material to harsh chemicals or solvents not compatible with polycarbonate, causing degradation.Consult material compatibility charts and use only approved cleaning agents and solvents recommended for polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Sight Glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, which can lead to yellowing and brittleness.
