Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, compromising structural integrity.Maintain a minimum edge distance as per engineering specifications or best practices for polycarbonate to prevent stress concentration and potential cracking.
Using incompatible fasteners that can damage or stress the polycarbonate.Employ fasteners specifically designed for use with polycarbonate, such as self-tapping screws with large, flat washers to distribute load.

Common Applications

  • Industrial machine guarding and enclosures
  • Structural bracing components for equipment
  • Custom fabricated supports and mounts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid direct contact with certain aggressive chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Implement proper handling and cutting techniques to prevent thermal stress and fracturing.
