Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without washers, leading to localized stress and potential cracking.Utilize oversized washers with fasteners to distribute load evenly across the polycarbonate surface. Allow for thermal expansion by not fully tightening all fasteners initially.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can degrade the polycarbonate surface and reduce clarity.Clean the polycarbonate with mild soap and water, or a specialized plastic cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Glazing and Windows
  • Signage and Displays
  • Industrial Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals which may degrade the material.
  • Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 250°F (121°C) as this may cause deformation or degradation.
