Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Carefully position the polycarbonate sheet, aligning it with pre-drilled holes or intended mounting points. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, ensuring not to over-tighten, which could cause stress cracking. Use rubber washers for added protection.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Always employ rubber or neoprene washers when fastening polycarbonate sheets to distribute pressure evenly and prevent damage.
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet, compromising structural integrity.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 1.5 to 2 times the hole diameter for all drilled holes.
Exposing the sheet to incompatible chemicals that can cause crazing or degradation.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate before exposing the sheet to solvents or aggressive cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Industrial Safety Shields
  • Protective Barriers
  • Riot Shields
  • Glazing for Hazardous Areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding its rated maximum service temperature to prevent deformation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting or drilling operations to manage dust and potential fumes.
