Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can stress the Polycarbonate sheet.Employ fasteners with oversized holes or use clamping systems designed to distribute pressure evenly across the Polycarbonate surface.
Exposing Polycarbonate to harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.Utilize mild soap and water solutions or specialized Polycarbonate cleaners for maintenance to prevent surface damage and hazing.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Protective windows and enclosures
  • Abrasion-resistant surfaces in material handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals which can scratch or cloud the surface.
