Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for cutting, leading to cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools or bits designed for plastics to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress fractures.Employ washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion by using slotted holes where appropriate.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Glazing and Windows
  • Signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the material.
  • Allow for thermal expansion and contraction in fixed installations by providing adequate clearance.
