Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics.Utilize specialized bits for polycarbonate or a standard bit ground for plastic to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, inducing stress.Employ washers and do not over-tighten fasteners. Allow for slight movement to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Glazing
  • Protective Barriers
