Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can stress the polycarbonate.Utilize oversized holes and neoprene washers with fasteners to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress cracking.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Clean with a mild soap and water solution or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft, lint-free cloth.

Common Applications

  • Protective Machine Guarding
  • Impact-Resistant Shipping Containers
  • Specialty Packaging Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use solvents such as acetone, MEK, or toluene, as they can cause chemical attack and crazing.
