Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without countersinking, leading to stress concentration.Use sharp, specialized drill bits for plastics and pre-drill holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter. Countersink holes to distribute stress evenly.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing premature cracking and failure.Hand-tighten fasteners or use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification. Allow for expansion with slotted holes or washers.

Common Applications

  • Protective guards for heavy machinery in pulling and lifting operations
  • Custom fabricated components for rigging and hoisting equipment
  • Impact-resistant windows and sight glasses on industrial lifting devices

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to scratching; use appropriate cleaning agents and tools.
  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline cleaners or solvents that can degrade the material.
