Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper spacing, leading to sheet cracking.Utilize oversized holes and consider slotted holes for thermal expansion. Ensure fasteners are not overtightened.
Exposing the sheet to harsh chemicals that can cause crazing or degradation.Consult the material data sheet for chemical compatibility. Avoid contact with solvents, strong alkalis, and certain petroleum-based cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • Machine Guards and Safety Glazing
  • Lighting Fixture Diffusers and Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to continuous temperatures exceeding 248°F (120°C) as this may lead to deformation.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the surface and compromise optical clarity.
