Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without proper bit selection for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits or high-speed steel bits with a 60-degree point angle, and maintain a consistent drilling speed to prevent heat buildup and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress fractures around mounting points.Employ washers to distribute pressure and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction without inducing undue stress.

Common Applications

  • Structural bracing components
  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Transparent support structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or fabricating.
