Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering polycarbonate's thermal expansion.Employ oversized holes or slotted fasteners to accommodate expansion and contraction.
Applying excessive force during fastening, leading to stress cracks.Tighten fasteners to a snug fit, avoiding over-tightening. Hand-tightening followed by a quarter turn is often sufficient.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective shipping crates
  • Machine guarding for packaging equipment
  • High-impact protective barriers in logistics hubs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to prevent fume buildup.
