Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without peck drilling can cause overheating and melting.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped drill bits and use a peck drilling technique to clear chips and dissipate heat.
Over-tightening fasteners can lead to stress cracking.Use washers and do not tighten fasteners beyond snug; allow for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Sight Glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it may yellow or become brittle.
