Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits or ground drill bits designed for acrylics/polycarbonates to prevent chipping and cracking.
Exposing polycarbonate to harsh solvents.Clean polycarbonate with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents such as acetone, toluene, or strong acids which can degrade the material.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Inspection windows and sight glasses
  • Protective covers for sensitive equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May scratch if abrasive materials are used for cleaning.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
