Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for polycarbonate, leading to cracking.Employ specialized drill bits designed for plastics or use a standard bit at a slow speed with adequate cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Use washers and tighten fasteners snugly but without excessive force. Consider expansion gaps for temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding & Safety Shields
  • Structural Bracing Components
  • Impact-Resistant Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate's surface properties.
  • Thermal expansion should be considered during installation to prevent stress buildup.
