Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or small, potentially cracking the polycarbonate.Utilize washers with fasteners and consider pre-drilling holes slightly larger than the fastener shank to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent stress fractures.
Exposing the sheet to harsh chemicals without verifying compatibility, leading to surface degradation.Consult a polycarbonate chemical resistance chart or perform spot tests with intended cleaning agents and solvents before full-scale application.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective barriers
  • Sight glasses
  • Security glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
  • Allow for thermal expansion and contraction when mounting by not over-tightening fasteners and considering expansion gaps.
