Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress and potential cracking of the polycarbonate.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the sheet. Allow for slight thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the optical surface of the polycarbonate.Employ soft cloths and mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions specifically designed for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and protective barriers
  • Industrial filtration screens
  • Clear housings for sensitive equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not expose to harsh chemicals or solvents not listed as compatible with polycarbonate.
