Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris before placement. 2. Secure the sheet using appropriate mechanical fasteners (e.g., screws with washers), ensuring holes are slightly oversized to accommodate thermal expansion. 3. Apply sealant around the edges if a weather-tight seal is required, utilizing a compatible material for polycarbonate.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge or without adequate clearance for thermal expansion.Drill holes at least 2-3 times the diameter of the fastener away from the edge and use oversized holes with neoprene washers to allow for expansion and contraction.
Using incompatible cleaning agents or abrasives that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a manufacturer-approved polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents like ammonia or acetone.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Shields
  • Sight Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can scratch; handle with care and use appropriate protective films during fabrication and installation.
  • Thermal expansion and contraction must be accounted for in mounting design to prevent stress and cracking.
