Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling, leading to melting or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or use high-speed steel bits with coolant and slow feed rates to prevent thermal damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential fracture.Utilize washers and avoid over-tightening; fasteners should be snug but not stressed, allowing for minor thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Structural bracing components in modular systems
  • Custom suspension mounts for heavy equipment
  • Protective guards and enclosures in industrial settings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain organic solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
