Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or improperly sized, leading to premature cracking.Utilize fasteners with a smooth, rounded head and appropriate thread pitch. Consider using washers to distribute load and avoid direct contact with the polycarbonate surface.
Exposing the polycarbonate to solvents or harsh cleaning agents that can degrade the material.Clean the polycarbonate surface with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Common Applications

  • Custom machine guarding for high-pressure environments
  • Sight glasses for temperature-controlled vessels
  • Enclosures for sensitive control panels exposed to thermal fluctuations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV-resistant coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not subject the sheet to excessive or sudden temperature changes, which can induce thermal stress and potential failure.
