Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or stress fractures.Utilize specialized drill bits for plastics, ensuring proper feed rate and cooling to prevent overheating and material damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress concentrations and lead to cracking.Employ gaskets or washers and avoid overtightening; allow for a small degree of thermal expansion by not rigidly fixing the sheet on all sides.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields
  • Protective Enclosures and Covers
  • Industrial Glazing and Windows
  • Custom Fabricated Parts
  • High-Impact Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to scratching; use appropriate cleaning agents and avoid abrasive materials.
  • Thermal expansion should be considered during installation; ensure adequate clearance for expansion and contraction.
