Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too short, leading to inadequate support.Utilize fasteners of sufficient length to achieve proper engagement with the mounting surface.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, compromising the sheet's structural integrity.Maintain recommended edge distances when drilling holes to prevent stress concentration and potential delamination.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective windows
  • Glazing applications
  • Industrial enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive chemicals which may degrade the surface.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the optical surface.
