Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering expansion/contraction.Employ slotted holes or oversized holes with appropriate washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.
Drilling without proper bit selection.Utilize sharp, specialized bits designed for plastics to prevent chipping and melting during the drilling process.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Conveyor System Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper protective coatings, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
