Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate or plastic drill bits with appropriate geometries and cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, creating stress concentrations that can compromise the material.Use washers and do not exceed recommended torque specifications; account for expansion/contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety enclosures
  • Protective barriers and shields
  • Custom fabrication and prototyping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline or acidic cleaning agents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during fabrication processes involving heat or cutting to prevent fume buildup.
