Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification for polycarbonate, or hand-tighten with washers designed for plastic.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners or abrasive pads.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and protective barriers in janitorial equipment
  • Splash guards and shields in washdown areas
  • Custom enclosures for plumbing fixtures or control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, which can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface and compromise material integrity.
