Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize specialized drill bits for polycarbonate, maintaining a consistent feed rate and cooling.
Fastening the sheet too tightly, causing undue stress and potential fracture.Employ washers and allow for thermal expansion by providing slightly oversized holes for fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Specialized bracing and structural components
  • Protective enclosures and partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject to extreme temperature fluctuations beyond the material's specifications.
