Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ a sharp bit specifically designed for polycarbonate or plastics, with appropriate speed and feed rates.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening; consider oversized holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic enclosure fabrication
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic systems
  • Machine guards for automated equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without protective coating, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that are incompatible with polycarbonate, as they can cause surface damage.
