Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks and premature failure.Use washers and only tighten fasteners until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • Machine Guards & Safety Shields
  • Lighting Fixture Covers & Diffusers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline chemicals, which can cause stress cracking.
  • Prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
