Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can cause stress cracking.Utilize fasteners with larger washers or spacers to distribute load and prevent point stress.
Installing in direct sunlight without UV protection, leading to yellowing and embrittlement.Select UV-coated polycarbonate or apply a UV-resistant film if prolonged outdoor exposure is expected.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for high-pressure industrial equipment
  • Transparent enclosures for temperature-controlled environments
  • Sight glasses in chemical processing and HVAC systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Avoid excessive heat or prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's rated operating range.
