Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fastenersUse oversized holes or slots and appropriate washers when fastening to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress points and cracking.
Using abrasive cleaning agentsClean polycarbonate with mild soap and water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and abrasive materials that can scratch or degrade the surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers & Shields
  • Industrial Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating or cutting to avoid the buildup of potentially harmful fumes.
