Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper technique.Utilize specialized drill bits for plastics or employ a slow speed with a high feed rate and a sharp bit to prevent cracking.
Improperly securing the sheet, leading to stress concentrations.Employ a liberal hole size and use washers to distribute pressure evenly, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Safety Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during fabrication processes, as fine dust particles can be generated.
