Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can cause stress cracking.Utilize oversized holes with washers or specialized fasteners designed for plastic to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Employ mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for grinding and polishing operations
  • Protective covers for abrasive equipment
  • Work surfaces in polishing bays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coating as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use polycarbonate in applications involving high temperatures exceeding its softening point without consulting material specifications.
