Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits which can cause cracking.Employ sharp, high-speed steel drill bits designed for plastics, and consider using a pilot hole and slow, steady pressure.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress points and potential fracture.Use washers and tighten fasteners just enough to secure the sheet; avoid excessive torque.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Protective screens and enclosures
  • Custom fabrication and prototyping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, during handling and fabrication.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
