Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp, potentially cracking the polycarbonate.Utilize fasteners with a washer or a slightly rounded head to distribute pressure, or consider self-tapping screws designed for plastics.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks around mounting points.Hand-tighten fasteners initially and then apply only the necessary torque to secure the sheet without deforming it.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Custom Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Use caution when cutting and machining to prevent heat buildup, which can cause melting or distortion.
