Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without consideration for material expansion.Utilize fasteners with washers or slotted holes to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of polycarbonate.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress and cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling, typically a minimum of 2 times the hole diameter.

Common Applications

  • Protective shields for equipment in janitorial closets
  • Splash guards for sinks and wash stations
  • Durable covers for sensitive plumbing components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.
