Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge.Always drill holes at least 4 inches from the edge and corners to prevent stress risers and potential delamination or cracking.
Using standard fasteners without proper sealing.Utilize specialized fasteners designed for polycarbonate, often including neoprene or rubber washers to ensure a watertight seal and prevent stress points.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Industrial Glazing
  • High-Impact Shielding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV coating, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and thermal expansion considerations during installation, as polycarbonate can expand and contract with temperature fluctuations.
