Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers that can over-compress the material and cause cracking.Utilize "fender" or oversized washers with fasteners to distribute load and prevent localized pressure points.
Cutting or drilling polycarbonate with standard metalworking tools that can cause chipping or melting.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped cutting tools and drill bits specifically designed for plastics, maintaining slow, steady feed rates.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Protective enclosures for sensitive equipment
  • Glazing and impact-resistant windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and temperature control during fabrication and installation to avoid thermal stress.
