Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling bits without proper technique, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ a sharp drill bit specifically designed for plastics, and utilize a slow, consistent speed with minimal pressure. Backing the material with wood can also prevent blowout.
Tightening fasteners excessively, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Use washers and allow for slight expansion and contraction by not overtightening. Consider oversized holes with grommets for larger panels.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Impact-Resistant Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
