Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits with a sharp point and appropriate clearance angles to prevent cracking or chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for thermal expansion with slotted holes if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Industrial shelving and supports
  • Signage and display bracing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves during handling and fabrication.
  • Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
