Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can corrode over time, compromising structural integrity.Always utilize stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant fasteners specifically designed for industrial environments.
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling holes, and consider using washers to distribute fastener load.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can deform the polycarbonate and create points of weakness.Tighten fasteners snugly but avoid excessive force; ensure a secure fit without deforming the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Structural bracing for equipment
  • Protective shields and partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain aggressive chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the surface, compromising clarity and structural integrity.
