Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to localized pressure points and potential cracking.Always use oversized washers with fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Cutting or drilling without proper support, causing vibration and chipping.Support the sheet adequately during cutting and drilling operations, and use sharp, high-speed cutting tools designed for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Industrial Glazing
  • Sound Dampening Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid direct contact with harsh solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to continuous elevated temperatures exceeding 265°F (129°C) without proper consideration of load and duration.
