Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance for all fasteners; consult engineering drawings for minimum spacing requirements.
Over-tightening fasteners, inducing stress and compromising structural integrity.Use torque-limiting tools and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight; employ washers for load distribution.

Common Applications

  • Overhead suspending structures
  • Industrial bracing and support systems
  • Custom structural reinforcement components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication processes involving heat or cutting.
