Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or improperly sized.Employ fasteners with smooth, rounded heads and appropriate thread pitch for polycarbonate, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit.
Drilling holes too close to the edge or without adequate clearance.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2x the sheet thickness when drilling, and consider elongating holes to allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Glazing and Skylights
  • Industrial Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation over time.
  • Use only cleaning agents specifically approved for polycarbonate to prevent surface crazing or damage.
