Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize washers and do not overtighten. Allow for thermal expansion by using oversized holes for fasteners where appropriate.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, and a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Pressure Vessel Windows
  • Temperature Control Enclosures
  • HVAC Components
  • Industrial Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to degradation.
  • Do not use polycarbonate in applications involving direct contact with strong alkaline solutions, as this can cause chemical attack.
