Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to cracking or crazing.Use standoffs or elastomeric washers to distribute pressure evenly and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive, polycarbonate-specific cleaner. Avoid solvents.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Glazing
  • Machine Guarding
  • Lighting Diffusers and Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May be susceptible to scratching; handle with care and use appropriate protective films.
  • Consult material safety data sheet (MSDS) for specific handling and disposal guidelines.
