Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge without reinforcement.Maintain adequate edge distance (typically 2-3 times sheet thickness) and consider reinforcing corners or high-stress areas.
Using standard metal fasteners without washers or appropriate spacing.Employ flat washers to distribute load and allow for material expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for overhead cranes and hoists
  • Impact shields for material handling equipment
  • Protective covers for winches and pulling mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh chemicals that can cause crazing or degradation of polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without UV-protective coatings or films, which can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
