Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers to distribute pressure evenly and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water and a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety enclosures
  • Pressure vessel sight glasses
  • Temperature-controlled cabinet windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use in direct contact with certain aggressive chemicals, which can cause crazing or degradation.
