Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2-3 times the fastener diameter for all drilled holes.
Using standard metal fasteners that can induce stress and damage the polycarbonate.Employ self-tapping screws or bolts specifically designed for plastic, or use washers to distribute load.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing compression and deformation of the sheet.Tighten fasteners until snug, then back off a quarter turn to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards in material handling equipment
  • Protective shields for automated lifting systems
  • Chute liners for abrasive material transport

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for use in environments with continuous UV exposure without UV-resistant coatings.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the material.
