Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to concentrated stress points.Always use flat washers with fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Cutting or drilling edges without proper deburring, creating potential crack initiation sites.Smooth all cut and drilled edges with fine-grit sandpaper or a deburring tool to remove sharp edges.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Temperature and pressure vessel sight glasses
  • Environmental control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions, which can cause stress cracking over time.
