Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Utilize nylon or brass fasteners with smooth, flat heads to minimize surface abrasion.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 1.5 times the hole diameter when drilling.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic equipment
  • Pressure vessel windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the sheet to prolonged UV exposure without appropriate coatings, as this can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
