Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the surface for mounting is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Mark and drill mounting holes in the polycarbonate sheet, ensuring hole diameter is slightly larger than the fastener to allow for thermal expansion. 3. Securely fasten the sheet using appropriate hardware, avoiding overtightening to prevent stress cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2x the hole diameter when drilling.
Using fasteners that are too small or overtightening them.Utilize appropriately sized fasteners and washers, and tighten only until snug to prevent stress concentration.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Protective barriers and enclosures
  • Custom fabrication and prototyping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the polycarbonate surface.
  • When cutting or machining, use appropriate safety equipment, including eye protection and gloves, to prevent injury from sharp edges or flying debris.
