Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2 times the hole diameter to prevent material tearing.
Using harsh cleaning chemicals.Clean only with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based products.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Impact shields
  • Protective covers for material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to UV radiation without proper coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation over time.
  • Do not use abrasive materials or solvents for cleaning, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
