Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling, typically at least twice the hole diameter.
Using harsh cleaning chemicals that can degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Safety Glazing
  • Protective Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to solvents or aggressive chemicals that can cause crazing or stress cracking.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement over time.
