Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly, ensuring they are snug but not overly forced.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for pulling and lifting equipment
  • Inspection windows for material handling systems
  • Protective shields in high-force environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can degrade the material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation around the installed sheet if operating in extreme temperature conditions to prevent premature material fatigue.
