Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracksUse appropriate washers and do not overtighten fasteners; allow for thermal expansion.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can degrade the polycarbonateClean only with mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards for pneumatic equipment
  • Custom enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Transparent covers for pneumatic cylinders and actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not expose to temperatures exceeding the material's rated thermal limit, as deformation may occur.
