Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can stress the polycarbonate.Utilize fasteners with washers or spacers designed to distribute load and prevent over-tightening, which can cause cracking or crazing.
Exposing the polycarbonate to harsh chemicals not compatible with the material.Refer to the material compatibility chart for polycarbonate and ensure exposure is limited to approved solvents and cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Abrasion Resistant Barriers
  • Polishing Fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless a UV-stabilized grade is specified.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals that may scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.
