Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter, and consider using washers to distribute load.
Using incompatible fasteners or adhesives that can degrade the polycarbonate's integrity.Consult material compatibility charts and use only fasteners or adhesives specifically recommended for polycarbonate to prevent chemical attack or stress cracking.

Common Applications

  • Structural bracing for temporary or permanent installations
  • Support components in suspended ceiling systems
  • Protective shielding for machinery and equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and fabrication.
  • Avoid exposing polycarbonate to harsh chemicals, solvents, or excessive UV radiation beyond its specified resistance limits.
