Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits which can cause cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or use a slow speed and steady feed rate with standard bits, employing a pilot hole if necessary.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and do not fully tighten fasteners until all are in place, then tighten them incrementally and evenly.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Safety glazing and windows
  • Protective shields and barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and machining to avoid fume inhalation.
