Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracking.Utilize oversized holes for fasteners and incorporate washers to distribute load. Avoid direct contact between metal fasteners and polycarbonate where possible.
Using incompatible cleaning agents, leading to surface crazing.Clean only with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products. Refer to manufacturer's cleaning guidelines.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Custom Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for extended UV exposure without UV coating, as degradation may occur.
  • Machining operations should be performed at moderate speeds with sharp tooling to prevent melting and chipping.
