Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling bits without proper technique, leading to micro-cracks.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits and drill at a slow speed, using a pilot hole and backing material.
Applying aggressive cleaning agents that can cloud or craze the surface.Clean using mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards
  • Custom display fabrication
  • Glazing for enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, which can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use solvents such as acetone, toluene, or xylene, as they can severely damage the polycarbonate.
