Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or improperly torqued, leading to stress cracks.Utilize rounded or flanged fasteners and apply torque evenly, ensuring a snug but not overtightened fit. Consider pre-drilling holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter.
Exposing the polycarbonate to harsh chemicals or solvents that can degrade its surface properties.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate and ensure compatibility before exposure. Clean with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Custom shipping crate construction
  • Protective barriers for sensitive equipment
  • Durable packaging inserts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation if the material is subjected to elevated temperatures for prolonged periods.
