Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without proper washers.Employ oversized washers to distribute clamping force and prevent cracking or deformation of the polycarbonate sheet.
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 1.5 times the hole diameter to prevent stress risers and potential fracture.

Common Applications

  • Custom machine guarding
  • Industrial structural bracing
  • Protective shields for sensitive equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they can scratch the surface.
