Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits designed for metal or wood, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits with appropriate speeds and feeds. Consider peck drilling to clear chips and prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, creating stress concentration points that can lead to premature failure.Employ washers and allow for expansion/contraction by using oversized holes or slotted fixings, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Glazing
  • Protective Barriers
  • Architectural Skylights
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
