Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use washers to distribute pressure and tighten fasteners only until snug, then a quarter turn more.
Using aggressive solvents for cleaning, which can damage polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Protective Covers for Lighting Fixtures
  • Insulating Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to UV radiation unless the sheet is specifically UV-stabilized, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the surface, compromising optical clarity and structural integrity.
