Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized bits designed for plastics or a standard bit with a reduced cutting angle to prevent chipping and cracking.
Drilling holes too close to the edge.Maintain adequate edge distance (at least 2x the hole diameter) to prevent material failure under stress.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety enclosures
  • Protective barriers and partitions
  • Impact-resistant glazing and windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings.
  • Use only compatible cleaning agents; harsh chemicals can degrade polycarbonate.
