Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Precisely cut the polycarbonate sheet to the required dimensions using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., circular saw with a fine-tooth blade, laser cutter). 3. Secure the sheet using mechanical fasteners, ensuring proper spacing and avoiding overtightening to prevent stress cracking. Use phenolic washers for fastener points.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper technique.Employ a high-speed steel drill bit designed for plastics, or a specialized polycarbonate bit. Drill at a slow to moderate speed, using a pilot hole and relieving the pressure as you finish the hole to prevent chipping or cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration.Utilize phenolic washers at all fastener locations to distribute the load evenly across a larger surface area. Tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Protective Barriers for Industrial Equipment
  • Glazing for Harsh Environmental Conditions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain organic solvents, which can cause crazing or dissolution.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
