Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-impact areas.Always select polycarbonate for applications requiring superior impact and shatter resistance, such as pneumatic machine guarding.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Utilize washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight. Allow for slight expansion and contraction of the material.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic machine guarding
  • Protective enclosures for pneumatic components
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic cylinders and systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific chemicals before use, as some solvents can attack polycarbonate.
