Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the cutting and fabrication of the polycarbonate sheet are performed according to design specifications, maintaining precise dimensions. 2. Clean all surfaces of the polycarbonate sheet thoroughly with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and lint-free cloths to prevent scratching. 3. Carefully install the sheet into its designated mounting or framing system, ensuring even pressure distribution to avoid stress points and potential cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents on the polycarbonate surface.Always use mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners with soft, lint-free cloths to avoid surface scratching and chemical damage.
Over-tightening fasteners when securing the polycarbonate sheet.Employ a 'snug' tightening approach and consider using neoprene washers to distribute load and prevent cracking or deformation due to excessive pressure.

Common Applications

  • Custom Enclosures for Pneumatic Valves and Actuators
  • Machine Guarding for Robotic Arms and Automated Systems
  • Sight Glasses for Pneumatic Reservoirs and Cylinders

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the material is specifically UV-stabilized, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement over time.
  • Do not expose polycarbonate to strong alkaline cleaners or certain organic solvents (e.g., acetone, MEK) as they can cause crazing or dissolution.
