Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or small, leading to stress concentration and cracking.Utilize fasteners with a larger bearing surface or washers specifically designed for plastic sheeting. Ensure proper hole sizing to allow for thermal expansion.
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet, compromising structural integrity.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2-3 times the sheet thickness when drilling holes for fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Industrial bracing and support structures
  • Protective covers for equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh solvents and cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the sheet to excessive localized heat, as this can cause deformation.
