Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without a pilot hole or appropriate bit.Always drill a pilot hole and use a sharp, high-speed drill bit specifically designed for plastics to prevent cracking and chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations.Employ washers to distribute load and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Safety Glazing
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • Impact Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface finish and compromise material integrity.
