Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper spacing or washers.Utilize oversized holes and neoprene washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress points.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth; specific polycarbonate cleaners are recommended for tougher grime.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards
  • Custom shipping enclosures
  • Point-of-purchase displays
  • Glazing for industrial equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use solvents such as acetone, toluene, or MEK, as they can cause severe crazing and degradation of the polycarbonate.
