Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2x the hole diameter for all drilled openings.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth only.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Glazing for Industrial Equipment
  • Custom Fabricated Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solvents, as they can cause stress cracking.
  • Thermal expansion and contraction should be accounted for in designs involving large sheet areas.
