Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too short or not designed for plasticUtilize self-tapping screws or bolts with appropriate washers designed for polycarbonate to distribute load and prevent damage.
Drilling mounting holes without accounting for thermal expansionDrill oversized holes to allow for expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate sheet due to temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications

  • HVAC enclosures and ducting
  • Window glazing for industrial greenhouses
  • Protective shields for heating elements

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals, as polycarbonate can be susceptible to stress cracking.
  • Do not expose to temperatures exceeding the material's rated maximum operating temperature, as this can lead to deformation or degradation.
