Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress cracks.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2-3 times the hole diameter when drilling.
Using standard metal fasteners without appropriate washers, causing localized pressure.Utilize large, flat washers to distribute fastener pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Barriers
  • Safety Glazing
  • Industrial Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
