Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper technique.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits and maintain a slow to moderate speed with consistent pressure to prevent melting and cracking.
Improper cleaning agents.Clean only with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive chemicals or solvents that can cause surface damage.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and protective shields
  • Abrasion-resistant panels for industrial equipment
  • Polishing fixtures and substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May degrade under prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coating.
  • Avoid direct contact with aggressive solvents which can cause crazing or dissolution.
