Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or improperly sized, leading to stress concentration and cracking.Utilize fasteners with washers and a slightly oversized hole to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, mitigating stress.
Cleaning the polycarbonate with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch or degrade the surface.Employ mild soap and water with a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid ammonia-based or solvent cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Sight Glasses
  • Impact Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May scratch if exposed to abrasive materials. Use only non-abrasive cleaning agents.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
