Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using fasteners that are too small or have sharp edges.Utilize appropriately sized fasteners with washers to distribute load and prevent puncturing or cracking the sheet.
Exposing the sheet to solvents or harsh cleaning chemicals.Clean using mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade the polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards
  • Glazing for windows and skylights
  • Point-of-purchase displays
  • Security barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or solvents, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
