Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet, leading to cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2-3 times the sheet thickness when drilling holes.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Use washers and tighten fasteners just enough to snug the sheet against the substrate, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Impact-resistant glazing
  • Protective enclosures for sensitive equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause deformation; consult material specifications for operating limits.
