Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners evenly in a cross pattern, ensuring snug but not excessive torque.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with a mild soap and water solution or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid paper towels; use soft, lint-free cloths.

Common Applications

  • Custom Measuring Gauges
  • Protective Covers for Inspection Equipment
  • Machine Guarding and Shields
  • Workstation Dividers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the sheet is UV-stabilized, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Polycarbonate can be attacked by certain solvents; consult a chemical resistance chart before use with specific chemicals.
