Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for polycarbonate can lead to cracking or chipping.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits or modify standard bits with a 60-degree point angle and adequate relief to prevent heat buildup and material stress.
Over-tightening fasteners can cause stress concentrations and eventual failure.Employ oversized holes with washers or neoprene grommets to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and tighten fasteners only until snug.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields
  • Protective Enclosures and Barriers
  • Industrial Sight Glasses and Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
