Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using solvents or abrasive cleaners on the polycarbonate surface.Always clean polycarbonate with mild soap and water, and a soft cloth. For tougher grime, use specialized polycarbonate cleaners.
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Use appropriate torque settings and consider using oversized holes with rubber or neoprene washers to distribute stress evenly.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pneumatic machinery
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic cylinders and reservoirs
  • Protective enclosures for pneumatic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating to avoid inhalation of dust particles.
