Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use oversized holes with appropriate washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade the polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners; avoid abrasive chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Structural bracing components
  • Industrial shelving and supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation if used in enclosed spaces due to potential off-gassing at elevated temperatures.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain solvents and alkaline solutions which may cause crazing.
