The sheets have a dielectric strength of 35 kV/mm and a volume resistivity of 0.15%.
When drilling holes in polycarbonate sheets, ensure the hole is at least 1.5 times the diameter away from the edge. Avoid using cutting oil and opt for threading only if necessary, as sheets may break post-drilling.
Use adhesives that are neutral and compatible with polycarbonate for gluing solid sheets.
Clean Poli-comp® and Scudo® sheets with warm water and a soft cloth.
Remove protective film before thermoforming. Pre-heat material to 120°C to remove moisture, using an air circulating oven. Perform thermoforming immediately after drying as sheets reabsorb moisture below 100°C. Hot curving should be done between 155°C and 165°C.
Policomp® and Scudo® sheets can be cut using circular saws, belt saws, or milling machines with specific rake angles, inclination angles, cutting speeds, and feed speeds. Detailed parameters for drilling include rake angle, angle of tip, blade angle, inclination angle, cutting speed, and tip speed.
