Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from debris. 2. Carefully align the polycarbonate sheet with the designated mounting points or frame. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, ensuring not to over-tighten to prevent stress cracking. Use pre-drilled holes with a clearance of at least 1/8" larger than the fastener diameter.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks and premature failure.Use fasteners with washers and pre-drill holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ammonia-based products.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Barriers
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Impact-Resistant Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV coating for outdoor applications.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or solvents that can scratch or damage the surface.
