Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and structurally sound. 2. Cut polycarbonate sheet to the desired dimensions using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., circular saw with fine-tooth blade). 3. Secure the sheet using mechanical fasteners, ensuring to allow for thermal expansion/contraction by not overtightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-drilling holes and overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Drill holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter and use washers to distribute load. Allow for a minimum of 1/8" clearance around fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion.
Using standard cleaning agents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean the polycarbonate surface with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shielding
  • Industrial Glazing and Windows
  • Protective Barriers and Partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's continuous service temperature.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or fabricating to avoid inhalation of dust.
