Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits designed for metal or wood, which can lead to cracking.Utilize specialized drill bits for plastics or grind the edges of standard bits to a sharper angle (e.g., 60-90 degrees) and drill at a slower speed with coolant.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential delamination or cracking.Employ washers and avoid tightening fasteners beyond snug. Allow for thermal expansion by using slightly oversized holes for fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Industrial Sight Panels
  • Custom Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or fabricating the material.
