Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks and reduced structural integrity.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for thermal expansion if required by the application.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can cause surface hazing or degradation.Employ only mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh solvents.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for material handling equipment
  • Protective shields for impact zones
  • Custom fabricated components for lifting apparatus

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without UV-protective coating, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline cleaning agents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
