Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2x the hole diameter when drilling.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Shields
  • Industrial Glazing
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or fabricating to dissipate heat and avoid material damage.
