Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance for all drilled holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter.
Using solvents or cleaners that are incompatible with polycarbonate, causing surface hazing or degradation.Only use mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners for maintenance.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety enclosures
  • HVAC ductwork and components
  • Sight glasses and viewing panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless a UV-coated sheet is specified.
  • Do not subject the material to extreme thermal shock cycles that exceed its rated temperature limits.
