Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cleaners on the polycarbonate surface.Employ only mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners to prevent surface scratching and maintain optical clarity.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening; consider pre-drilling holes and ensuring they are slightly larger than the fastener diameter.

Common Applications

  • Custom Measurement Fixtures
  • Inspection Templates
  • Machine Guarding Panels
  • Optical Inspection Jigs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to prolonged UV radiation without a protective coating, as this may lead to yellowing or degradation.
  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to attack from certain aggressive solvents; verify chemical compatibility before application.
