Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling, leading to melting and cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or use a slow speed with a sharp bit and continuous lubrication/cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Install fasteners with washers and torque to specifications, ensuring they are snug but not overtightened. Leave adequate clearance for expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields
  • Architectural Glazing and Skylights
  • Protective Enclosures and Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions, as this can cause stress cracking.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to dissipate heat and prevent material degradation.
