Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without appropriate washers or grommets.Utilize large-diameter washers or rubber grommets to distribute pressure evenly and prevent stress concentrations that can lead to cracking.
Cutting or drilling polycarbonate with inappropriate tools or techniques.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped cutting tools and high-speed drill bits with a slow feed rate. Ensure proper chip evacuation to prevent overheating and melting.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Safety Glazing
  • Impact-Resistant Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.
