Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal drilling bits, which can cause stress fractures.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or use a standard bit with a reduced cutting angle and slow speed, pecking frequently.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to cracking or crazing.Use washers and do not overtighten screws. Allow for expansion and contraction by drilling oversized holes.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Glazing
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
