Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the sheet is clean and free of debris before cutting or machining. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools designed for plastics, such as carbide-tipped saws or laser cutters, to achieve clean edges. 3. Employ proper fastening methods (e.g., drilled holes with appropriate clearance, mechanical fasteners) to avoid stress concentration and potential cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper clearance.Always maintain adequate edge distance when drilling, and consider using oversized holes or slots to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, and harsh solvents like acetone or gasoline.

Common Applications
