Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper consideration for polycarbonate's thermal expansion.Utilize oversized holes or slots for fasteners to accommodate expansion and contraction, and employ suitable washers to distribute load.
Employing abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean the surface with mild soap and water, and use soft, lint-free cloths for drying. Consult manufacturer recommendations for specialized cleaning solutions if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Fabrication of precision measuring jigs and fixtures
  • Manufacturing of industrial inspection templates
  • Creation of protective viewing panels for machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not expose to strong alkaline solutions or certain organic solvents, as these can cause chemical attack and crazing.
