Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without proper pilot holes or speeds, leading to cracking.Utilize a sharp drill bit designed for plastics and employ a slow, steady feed rate with appropriate pilot holes.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for slight expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

Common Applications

  • Protective Glazing
  • Machine Guards
  • Signage
  • Light Diffusers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or cloud the surface.
