Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without rubber washers, leading to point stress and potential cracking.Always use rubber or neoprene washers with fasteners to distribute load evenly and prevent stress concentration on the polycarbonate surface.
Drilling mounting holes too close to the edge, compromising structural integrity.Maintain a minimum edge distance for drilled holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter, to prevent tearing or delamination.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Transparent shelving and dividers
  • Protective barriers and shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coating, as it can degrade material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
