Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansion.Utilize oversized holes or slots with neoprene washers to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of polycarbonate due to temperature changes.
Applying excessive force during fastening, leading to stress points.Hand-tighten fasteners initially and then apply only enough torque to achieve a snug fit, avoiding overtightening which can cause micro-cracking.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Industrial Enclosures
  • Protective Glazing
  • Signage Substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation if used in applications generating significant heat.
