Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering expansion/contractionUtilize oversized holes or slotted fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.
Applying excessive force during cutting or drillingEmploy sharp tooling and appropriate speeds to prevent melting, chipping, or stress fractures.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Protective Barriers and Partitions
  • Glazing in Industrial Structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can scratch or damage the surface.
