Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without a pilot hole or appropriate bit for plasticsPre-drill pilot holes and utilize a sharp, specialized drill bit designed for polycarbonate to prevent cracking or chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracksEmploy washers and do not overtighten fasteners; allow for slight thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Impact-resistant windows and partitions
  • Conveyor system shielding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's recommended operating range.
