Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cleaners that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap or specialized polycarbonate cleaner.
Applying excessive force or heat which can cause deformation or stress cracking.Handle with care, avoid localized heating, and use appropriate fastening methods that distribute load.

Common Applications

  • Precision Layout Templates
  • Inspection Fixtures
  • Optical Measurement Surfaces
  • Machine Guarding for Inspection Stations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use harsh solvents (e.g., acetone, toluene) as they can chemically attack and damage the polycarbonate.
