Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without proper washers or pilot holes.Utilize "tulip" head screws or cap screws with neoprene washers to distribute pressure and prevent cracking. Drill pilot holes slightly larger than the screw diameter to allow for thermal expansion.
Cleaning the polycarbonate with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Clean using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, solvents, or abrasive pads, which can damage the surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers & Shields
  • Industrial Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to temperatures exceeding recommended limits for polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or fabricating to avoid inhaling dust.
