Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2-3 times the hole diameter when drilling.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.Utilize mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh solvents.

Common Applications

  • Protective Shipping Crate Panels
  • Custom Die-Cut Packaging Inserts
  • Reusable Protective Barriers
  • Glazing for Industrial Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Avoid excessive heat, which can deform the material. Maintain appropriate clearance during thermal processes.
