Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2x the hole diameter when drilling.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or isopropyl alcohol, using a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Glazing
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without UV-resistant coating, as it can degrade over time.
  • Avoid contact with strong solvents and alkaline cleaners, which can cause crazing or stress cracking.
