Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during drilling, leading to cracking or stress points.Employ sharp drill bits designed for plastics and use a moderate, consistent pressure. Consider pilot holes for larger diameters.
Applying adhesives or sealants incompatible with polycarbonate, causing surface degradation or hazing.Always verify sealant and adhesive compatibility with polycarbonate. Consult manufacturer datasheets for recommended products.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Glazing
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • Custom Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 250°F, which can cause softening and deformation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or cloud the surface.
