Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal drilling bits without proper technique, leading to cracking.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits or a standard bit with a reduced speed and feed rate, employing a slight pecking motion to clear chips and prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential fracture.Install fasteners loosely and then tighten them gradually. Use oversized holes or slotted holes with washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Protective glazing for windows and doors
  • Custom fabrication of enclosures and displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and fabricating polycarbonate.
  • Avoid contact with strong solvents, as they can degrade or damage the polycarbonate material.
