Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits designed for metal, which can cause thermal stress and cracking.Employ specialized drill bits for plastics or ground metal bits at slower speeds with coolant.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential failure.Use washers and avoid excessive torque; allow for thermal expansion by not rigidly fixing all edges.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Industrial glazing and skylights
  • Protective enclosures for electronics

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to chemical attack from certain solvents; verify compatibility.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight if UV coating is not present or degraded.
