Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits which can cause micro-cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or use a standard bit with a slow speed and appropriate feed rate, applying lubricant.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress points and potential failure.Use oversized holes and rubber washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and tighten fasteners only until snug.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Safety glazing and partitions
  • Protective shields and barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to continuous temperatures exceeding 250°F.
