Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without protective washers.Always use neoprene or rubber washers with fasteners to prevent stress cracking and ensure a watertight seal.
Drilling holes too close to the edge.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least twice the hole diameter to prevent material failure.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Windows and Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.
