Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use washers and tighten fasteners gradually and evenly, avoiding excessive torque.
Using abrasive cleaning agents, which can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for sensitive equipment in high-pressure environments.
  • Components within temperature-regulated enclosures and chambers.
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows in industrial process lines.

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to certain solvents; consult a chemical compatibility chart before use in aggressive chemical environments.
