Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits designed for metal on polycarbonate.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits or grind standard bits to a sharper angle for clean hole creation without chipping.
Applying excessive force during fastening, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not overtightened. Consider using self-tapping screws designed for plastic.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • Machine Guarding & Safety Shields
  • Lighting Diffusers & Fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with polycarbonate, especially when cutting or drilling.
