Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without proper bit selection, leading to cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits or a sharp, high-speed steel bit with a reduced lip angle and a generous clearance angle.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential fracture.Employ washers and do not overtighten; allow for thermal expansion and contraction by leaving a small gap around fastener holes.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields and Enclosures
  • Industrial Fabrication and Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they will scratch the surface.
