Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling, typically at least 2-3 times the hole diameter. Use a sharp drill bit designed for plastics and drill at a slow speed.
Using harsh cleaning chemicals that can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean only with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for grinding and cutting operations
  • Custom fixtures for polishing and finishing processes
  • Durable, impact-resistant glazing in industrial equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged direct sunlight or UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as this may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Avoid contact with strong solvents, alkalis, or chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can damage the material.
