Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without a polycarbonate-specific bit, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ a sharp drill bit designed for plastics, or a standard bit that has been ground to a specific angle for polycarbonate to prevent heat buildup and stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential delamination or fracturing.Utilize rubber or neoprene washers and tighten fasteners until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction without undue pressure on the material.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the surface.
