Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Utilize washers and tighten fasteners incrementally in a cross pattern to distribute load evenly. Avoid direct contact of metal fasteners with the polycarbonate surface where possible.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch or cloud the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for drying.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pneumatic equipment
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic cylinders and valves
  • Enclosures for pneumatic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV-resistant coatings, as it can degrade material properties over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface finish and optical clarity.
