Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without proper feed and speed, leading to melting or chipping.Utilize a high-speed drill with a sharp bit specifically designed for plastics, maintaining a consistent feed rate and cooling if necessary.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ washers and avoid overtightening; allow a slight gap for thermal expansion of the polycarbonate material.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Industrial Glazing and Windows
  • Protective Enclosures and Partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions and aromatic hydrocarbons, as they can cause crazing or degradation.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during fabrication processes that may generate fumes.
