Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too long, leading to potential stress points and cracking.Utilize fasteners with appropriate length and consider using washers with a larger diameter to distribute pressure evenly.
Cutting or drilling without proper support, causing chipping or fracturing of the polycarbonate.Support the polycarbonate sheet adequately during cutting and drilling operations, and use sharp, specialized tooling for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating to avoid inhalation of fumes generated by cutting or heating.
