Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Accurately mark and drill mounting holes in the polycarbonate sheet, using appropriate drill bits designed for plastics to prevent cracking. 3. Securely fasten the sheet using hardware that distributes load evenly, avoiding overtightening which can cause stress fractures.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling without pilot holes or using incorrect drill bits.Always use a sharp drill bit specifically designed for polycarbonate and consider a pilot hole for larger fasteners to prevent stress and cracking.
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations.Use washers and tighten fasteners only until snug. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by not rigidly clamping the entire sheet surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Sight Glasses
  • Window Replacements in Industrial Equipment
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • Safety Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.
