Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for polycarbonate which can cause cracking.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits designed to reduce heat buildup and prevent chipping or cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential failure.Employ washers and allow for slight expansion by not fully tightening fasteners, especially in temperature-fluctuating environments.

Common Applications

  • Structural bracing components
  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Industrial shelving and supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to prevent fume buildup.
