Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits which can cause cracking.Utilize a drill bit specifically designed for plastics, with a slow speed and proper cooling to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and tighten fasteners just enough to secure the sheet, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
  • Durable shipping containers
  • Impact-resistant windows for enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
