Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using solvents incompatible with polycarbonate, causing stress cracking.Always consult chemical resistance charts and use only approved cleaning agents and adhesives for polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential fracture.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening polycarbonate components. Consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications
