Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits or ground bits for clean hole creation.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and do not overtighten; allow for slight movement due to thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards
  • Glazing and windows
  • Protective barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
