Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper technique, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ a sharp, specialized polycarbonate drill bit or a standard bit with a significantly reduced feed rate and proper cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential failure.Install fasteners with washers and allow for a small gap to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields
  • Protective Covers for Conveyor Systems
  • Impact-Resistant Enclosures and Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
