Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress fractures.Use washers and torque fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended specification for polycarbonate, avoiding excessive pressure.
Using standard metal fasteners without consideration for thermal expansion.Incorporate oversized holes or slotted holes to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate sheet.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pulling and lifting equipment
  • Protective covers for winches and hoists
  • Impact-resistant shields in material handling systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 250°F (121°C).
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
