Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too short, leading to inadequate support.Utilize fasteners of sufficient length to provide secure and stable mounting of the polycarbonate sheet.
Overtightening fasteners, which can induce stress and lead to premature cracking or crazing.Tighten fasteners until snug, and consider using washers with a larger bearing surface to distribute pressure evenly.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's rated maximum operating temperature.
