Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering polycarbonate's expansion/contraction.Utilize oversized holes or slots for fasteners and employ neoprene washers to accommodate thermal movement and prevent stress cracking.
Employing harsh cleaning agents or abrasive materials.Clean the polycarbonate surface with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth to prevent scratching and chemical damage.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers and Shields
  • Industrial Glazing
  • Hygienic Enclosures
  • Signage and Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline cleaning agents, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons, as these can cause crazing or cracking.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication processes involving cutting or drilling to dissipate heat and prevent material degradation.
