Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without washers or proper spacing.Utilize specialized polycarbonate washers to distribute stress and prevent cracking. Ensure fasteners are spaced according to load requirements to avoid stress concentration.
Cutting or drilling without proper tooling, leading to micro-cracking.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for plastics. Use a slow feed rate and adequate cooling to prevent thermal stress and cracking.

Common Applications

  • Industrial machine guarding
  • Protective barriers for sensitive equipment
  • Custom structural bracing components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the sheet to extreme thermal cycling without accounting for expansion and contraction.
