Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using metal washers directly against the polycarbonate.Always use nylon or neoprene washers to distribute pressure and prevent stress concentrations that can lead to cracking.
Drilling holes too close to the edge.Maintain adequate edge distance (recommended minimum 2 times sheet thickness) when drilling holes to prevent material failure.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Barriers and Partitions
  • Impact-Resistant Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions or certain organic solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • When cutting or machining, ensure proper ventilation and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
