Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without appropriate washers, leading to localized stress and potential cracking.Employ oversized washers with neoprene or rubber cushioning to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, compromising structural integrity.Maintain a minimum edge distance for all drilled holes, typically at least 2-3 times the hole diameter, to prevent edge fracture.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Displays
  • Safety Shields
  • Sound Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 250°F (121°C) which can lead to deformation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface finish and optical properties.
