Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to cracking or crazing.Use neoprene-washered screws and tighten them only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Safety glazing
  • Protective barriers
  • Point-of-purchase displays
  • Industrial shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 250°F (121°C) as this can cause deformation.
