Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too long and could damage the sheet.Utilize fasteners with integrated washers or collars to distribute load and prevent over-penetration.
Drilling holes without proper support, leading to chipping or cracking.Support the backside of the polycarbonate during drilling with a backing material like wood or a sacrificial sheet.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic enclosure fabrication
  • Machine guarding for automated systems
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically treated for outdoor use.
  • Use only cleaning agents recommended for polycarbonate to prevent surface degradation.
