Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling techniques that can lead to stress cracking.Employ drill bits specifically designed for plastics, and use a slow, steady feed rate. Peck drilling can also help manage heat buildup.
Applying excessive force during fastening, causing material deformation or failure.Utilize washers with fasteners to distribute pressure evenly. Pre-drilling oversized holes and using self-tapping screws suitable for polycarbonate are recommended.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for grinding and polishing machinery
  • Custom fixtures and jigs for abrasive finishing
  • Durable sight glasses and inspection panels in wet or dry abrasive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents, as this can degrade polycarbonate's structural integrity.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or heating polycarbonate to avoid the release of potentially harmful fumes.
