Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracksUse washers and allow for a small gap around fasteners to permit thermal expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surfaceClean with mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive polycarbonate cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Panels
  • Machine Guarding for Electrical Equipment
  • Lighting Fixture Covers and Diffusers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength.
  • Do not use ammonia-based cleaners, as they can cause stress cracking.
