Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper speed control, leading to melting or cracking.Utilize specialized drill bits for plastics and maintain a moderate speed with effective cooling to prevent thermal damage.
Employing adhesives that are incompatible with polycarbonate, causing stress cracking or degradation.Select only adhesives specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, durable bond without material compromise.

Common Applications

  • Custom Pneumatic Enclosures
  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Sight Glasses for Pneumatic Cylinders

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV inhibitors, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to prevent the buildup of flammable dust and fumes.
