Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling, typically at least 2-3 times the hole diameter.
Using abrasive cleaners that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Employ mild soap and water with a soft cloth for cleaning to preserve optical clarity.

Common Applications

  • Industrial filtration housings
  • Machine guards and sight glasses
  • Protective barriers in cleanrooms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without UV coating, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions and certain organic solvents, which can cause crazing or dissolution.
