Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too short or too long.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for sheet materials, ensuring proper engagement with the mounting substrate and adequate grip on the polycarbonate.
Drilling mounting holes too close to the edge.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2-3 times the hole diameter to prevent stress concentration and potential cracking during installation or under load.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Barriers
  • Safety Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding its maximum service temperature to maintain structural integrity.
