Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to localized stress and potential cracking.Always use flat, broad-headed washers with fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean only with mild soap and water, and a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding in polishing and grinding stations
  • Protective shields for high-speed buffing operations
  • Custom work surfaces for abrasive finishing tasks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to continuous temperatures exceeding 250°F (121°C).
  • Avoid contact with solvents such as ketones, esters, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, as they can cause crazing or degradation.
