Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use washers and do not fully tighten fasteners until all are in place, then tighten incrementally.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can craze the polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Common Applications

  • HVAC Air Handler Covers
  • Glazing for Climate Control Enclosures
  • Protective Shields for Industrial Fans

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 240°F (116°C) which can cause softening.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when working with polycarbonate to avoid inhaling dust or fumes.
