Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or small, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking.Utilize fasteners with a larger bearing surface or washers to distribute load evenly. Ensure fasteners are not overtightened, allowing for thermal expansion.
Cleaning the polycarbonate with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch or degrade the surface.Clean using mild soap and water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, solvents, or abrasive pads.

Common Applications
