Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped or specialized plastic drill bits, and drill at a slower speed with adequate cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential failure.Employ washers and tighten fasteners just enough to snug the material, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • Machine Guarding & Safety Shields
  • Lighting Diffusers & Covers
  • Protective Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without UV-resistant coating if outdoor use is intended and not specified as UV stabilized.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions, as polycarbonate can degrade under such conditions.
