Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits designed for softer plastics or metals, leading to heat buildup and cracking.Employ specialized drill bits for polycarbonate with appropriate speeds and cooling to prevent thermal stress.
Using solvents or cleaning agents incompatible with polycarbonate, causing surface crazing or degradation.Utilize mild soap and water or manufacturer-recommended polycarbonate cleaners for maintenance.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Sight Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not expose to temperatures exceeding the material's maximum operating range, which can cause deformation or degradation.
