Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cleaners that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Utilize mild soap and water with a soft, non-abrasive cloth for cleaning.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can lead to stress cracking.Employ washers and do not over-tighten screws or bolts; allow for slight material expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective barriers for shipping sensitive goods
  • Custom-fit packaging inserts for high-value items
  • Machine guards and industrial enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface.
