Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal drilling bits which can cause cracking.Employ specialized drill bits designed for plastics or use a standard bit with a reduced point angle and feed rate.
Excessive clamping pressure during assembly, leading to stress fractures.Utilize appropriate spacing for fasteners and consider using washers to distribute load, avoiding overtightening.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shielding
  • Industrial Enclosures and Covers
  • Sight Glasses and Viewing Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to chemical attack from certain solvents and cleaning agents. Consult a chemical resistance chart.
  • Avoid exposing polycarbonate to prolonged UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation over time.
