Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics.Employ a sharp, high-speed drill bit specifically manufactured for drilling polycarbonate to prevent cracking and chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress.Use washers and avoid over-tightening screws. Allow for thermal expansion by not making holes too snug.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Sight Windows
  • Impact Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface finish and integrity of the polycarbonate.
