Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp, potentially cracking the polycarbonate.Utilize fasteners with a broad, flat head or rubber washers to distribute pressure and prevent cracking.
Applying excessive force during fastening, leading to stress risers and eventual failure.Hand-tighten fasteners initially and then use a torque wrench to achieve manufacturer-recommended torque specifications, if available.

Common Applications

  • Custom machine guards for abrasive processes
  • Protective windows for polishing equipment
  • Specialized fixtures for surface finishing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or damage the surface.
