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 1.5 times the hole diameter when drilling holes in Polycarbonate sheets.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can etch or degrade the Polycarbonate surface.Clean Polycarbonate with mild soap and water or a specialized Polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards in polishing and grinding operations
  • Abrasion-resistant windows and lenses for industrial equipment
  • Custom fixtures and jigs for polishing processes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to scratching; handle with care during installation and operation.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the sheet is specifically UV-coated, as this can cause yellowing and degradation.
