Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracksUse washers and tighten fasteners gradually in a star pattern, avoiding excessive torque.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that scratch the surfaceClean with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards
  • Abrasion-resistant covers
  • Polishing jigs and fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
