Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the polycarbonate sheet is clean and free of debris before cutting or drilling. 2. Use appropriate cutting tools (e.g., fine-tooth circular saw, laser cutter) designed for plastics to achieve clean edges. 3. Secure the sheet firmly during fabrication to prevent vibration and potential cracking. Install using appropriate fasteners with oversized holes or expansion slots to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress cracks.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2 times the sheet thickness when drilling holes. Consider using a radius in corners to relieve stress.
Using improper cleaning solvents that can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean polycarbonate only with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Industrial Glazing and Windows
  • Signage and Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate is flammable and can burn. Keep away from open flames and high heat sources.
  • Thermal expansion and contraction must be accounted for in mounting and framing to prevent stress and deformation.
