Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without peck drilling for clearance holes.Utilize a sharp bit designed for plastics and employ a peck drilling technique to prevent heat buildup and material stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Install fasteners with washers to distribute load and tighten only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Protective glazing and enclosures
  • Custom fabrication projects requiring high impact strength

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, when cutting or fabricating.
  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and solvents that may degrade polycarbonate.
