Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft, lint-free cloth.
Applying excessive force during installation, leading to stress concentrations and potential fracture.Utilize appropriate clamping or fastening methods with controlled torque to prevent stress.

Common Applications

  • Precision inspection jigs and fixtures
  • Machine guarding for sensitive measuring equipment
  • Optical windows for inspection systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings, as it can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use sharp objects or abrasive materials directly on the surface, as this can cause permanent scratches.
