Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Tighten fasteners until snug, not until the material deforms.
Using solvents that can craze or damage polycarbonate.Consult the material data sheet for compatible cleaning agents. Mild soap and water are typically recommended.

Common Applications

  • HVAC Enclosures and Guards
  • Glazing for Climate-Controlled Spaces
  • Insulating Barriers in Heating Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves during handling and installation.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation if not specifically treated for outdoor use, as it may degrade over time.
