Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without proper polycarbonate bit or speedEmploy a sharp, specialized polycarbonate drill bit and maintain a slow to moderate drill speed to prevent melting and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracksUtilize washers and do not overtighten fasteners. Allow for expansion and contraction by drilling oversized holes where necessary.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Impact-resistant glazing for industrial windows
  • Protective barriers and partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals that may cause crazing or degradation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and PPE when cutting or fabricating to manage dust and fumes.
