Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible adhesives or solvents which can cause crazing or stress cracking.Always consult the material compatibility chart for polycarbonate and use only approved adhesives and cleaning agents.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress concentrations.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening polycarbonate components; allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Sight Glasses for Pneumatic Systems
  • Housings for Control Valves and Actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive heat sources that exceed its maximum operating temperature.
