Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard glass drilling techniques which can cause cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits with a slow feed rate and adequate cooling to prevent thermal stress and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential failure.Use washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not overly tightened. Allow for thermal expansion by using slotted holes where appropriate.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective packaging inserts
  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Impact-resistant display cases

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
