Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without appropriate washers or grommets.Employ large diameter washers or specialized grommets to distribute stress over a wider area and prevent cracking or deformation of the polycarbonate.
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least twice the hole diameter when drilling to prevent material failure.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields
  • Protective Glazing for Windows and Skylights
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays and Signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals, as certain solvents can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive thermal shock, which could lead to cracking.
