Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize washers and avoid direct metal-on-plastic contact; hand-tighten fasteners and then apply a quarter-turn.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive plastic cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for grinding and polishing machinery
  • Custom fixtures for high-gloss finishing processes
  • Wear-resistant surfaces in material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents such as acetone or MEK, as they can craze or dissolve the polycarbonate.
