Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too short or of the wrong material.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for plastic, such as nylon or stainless steel, with sufficient length to ensure a secure, yet non-damaging, hold.
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2 times the sheet thickness when drilling to prevent material fatigue and potential cracking.

Common Applications

  • Abrading fixture components
  • Polishing surface protection
  • Machine guards for polishing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh solvents that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.
