Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the substrate surface is clean, dry, and free from debris. 2. Carefully position the polycarbonate sheet, aligning it with the desired mounting points or frame. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, ensuring they do not over-tighten to prevent stress cracking. Utilize oversized holes and consider thermal expansion coefficients.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Use neoprene washers or grommets with fasteners to distribute load and allow for thermal expansion. Ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight.
Using inappropriate cleaning agents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based solvents, or aggressive degreasers, which can cause crazing or degradation.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged contact with strong alkalis or certain aromatic hydrocarbons, as this may cause surface degradation.
  • Consider thermal expansion and contraction in design and installation to prevent bowing or stress-induced failure.
