Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks and potential failure.Utilize washer-backed fasteners and tighten them incrementally to achieve a snug fit without excessive torque.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can cause surface hazing or degradation.Clean with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Sight Glasses for Pressure Vessels
  • Thermal Insulation Barriers
  • Protective Enclosures for Sensitive Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to prolonged high-intensity UV radiation without UV-resistant coating if extreme longevity is required.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or strong chemical solvents, as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
