Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Always use appropriately sized washers with fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, compromising the structural integrity of the sheet.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling holes, following recommended guidelines for polycarbonate material.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Protective barriers for personnel and equipment
  • Impact-resistant windows and panels in industrial machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coating, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface finish and clarity of the polycarbonate.
