Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for metal, which can cause cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits or a high-speed steel bit with a slightly negative rake angle and adequate lubrication.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and do not overtighten. Ensure holes are slightly oversized to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Industrial Glazing
  • Protective Shields
  • Safety Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline cleaning agents, as they can cause crazing.
  • Maintain adequate ventilation during cutting and machining to dissipate heat and prevent melting.
