Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly to distribute load and prevent over-compression.
Exposing the sheet to incompatible chemicals that can degrade the polycarbonate.Consult the material's chemical resistance chart and avoid contact with aggressive solvents or cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for heavy-duty equipment
  • Impact-resistant shields in material handling systems
  • Custom fabrication for specialized lifting fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, which can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not subject to excessive heat, as polycarbonate has a maximum service temperature limit.
