Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without accounting for thermal expansion.Employ fasteners with slots or utilize neoprene washers to allow for material expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, preventing stress on the sheet.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean the polycarbonate with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Greenhouse Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to concentrated solvents which can cause crazing or stress cracking.
  • Do not install in direct contact with certain sealants or adhesives that may be incompatible with polycarbonate.
