Chemical Compatibility for Polycarbonate Lenses
Chemical Compatibility for Polycarbonate Lenses
To ensure the longevity and performance of RIG-A-LITE fixtures, no chemicals that can damage metal, aluminum, glass, or polycarbonate should be used to clean or come into contact with the luminaire or lens surfaces. For any concerns or questions about chemical compatibility, please contact RIG-A-LITE Customer Service.
Polycarbonate Lens Sensitivities
Polycarbonate experiences noticeable deterioration when exposed to certain chemicals —whether through direct contact, airborne mist, or vapor. These chemicals can compromise the luminaire lenses and lead to defects and product failures such as:
- Swelling
- Fading, color change, or whitening
- Stress cracking or crazing
- Partial dissolution
- Material failure
These types of damage are not covered under warranty.
If exposure to any of these chemicals is unavoidable, we recommend alternative lens materials such as acrylic, silicone, or borosilicate glass. If you notice visible deterioration to an existing product, it is crucial to replace the product immediately with a more suitable option.
