Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and cracking.Utilize captive fasteners or spacing washers, and tighten only until snug.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, followed by a soft, lint-free cloth.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Glazing
  • Machine Guarding for Electrical Equipment
  • Light Diffuser Panels
  • Protective Shields for Electrical Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not expose to strong alkaline cleaning solutions, as this can cause surface degradation.
