Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without a polycarbonate-specific bit.Utilize a sharp, high-speed steel bit designed for plastics or a specialized polycarbonate drill bit to prevent cracking and chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress fractures.Employ washers and do not overtighten. Allow for thermal expansion by drilling slightly oversized holes for fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Abrasion-resistant work surfaces
  • Protective glazing in harsh environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.
