Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use washers and hand-tighten fasteners, or employ a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or brushes.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for grinding and polishing machinery
  • Custom jigs and fixtures for polishing operations
  • Wear-resistant surfaces in material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use strong solvents such as acetone or MEK, as they can degrade the polycarbonate material.
