Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling mounting holes, at least 2-3 times the hole diameter.
Using standard metal drill bits without proper technique, causing heat buildup and melting.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits or grind standard bits to a steeper angle, and drill at a slow speed with intermittent cooling if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Shields
  • Protective Barriers
  • Glazing for Hazardous Areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation around the installed polycarbonate to prevent excessive heat buildup, which can degrade the material over time.
