Installation Procedure

1. Carefully measure and mark the sheet according to project requirements. 2. Utilize a fine-tooth blade on a circular saw or jigsaw for clean cuts, ensuring proper support to prevent vibration. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, pre-drilling holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or melting.Employ specialized blades designed for plastics or ensure blades are sharp and run at appropriate speeds.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Allow for expansion and contraction by using washers and not fully tightening screws until the sheet is in its final position.

Common Applications

  • HVAC Enclosures & Ducting
  • Machine Guarding & Safety Shields
  • Industrial Glazing & Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or fabricating to avoid inhalation of fumes.
