Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper spacing, leading to uneven stress distribution and potential cracking.Utilize oversized holes or slotted fasteners with washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring even load bearing.
Cutting or drilling polycarbonate with dull tools, resulting in rough edges and micro-fractures.Employ sharp, specialized cutting and drilling tools designed for plastics to achieve clean, precise edges and prevent internal damage.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and protective shields
  • Industrial glazing and windows
  • Point-of-purchase displays and signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface finish of the polycarbonate.
