Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling, typically a minimum of 2-3 times the hole diameter.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean the sheet with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Protective glazing for equipment
  • Custom fabrication of industrial components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV coating, which can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface finish and structural integrity.
