Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling, leading to melting.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits and apply coolant or compressed air during drilling to manage heat.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Employ washers and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for slight expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety enclosures
  • Impact-resistant sight windows
  • Protective barriers for material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Proper ventilation should be maintained during fabrication processes involving heat.
