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 twice the hole diameter when drilling holes.
Using standard fasteners without considering the thermal expansion of polycarbonate.Employ oversized holes or slotted holes with neoprene washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Industrial Glazing
  • Protective Barriers
  • Safety Shields
  • Skylights

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating or cutting to avoid inhaling polycarbonate dust.
