Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized plastic drill bits or a sharp twist drill with a reduced point angle and slow speed for clean drilling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential delamination or cracking.Tighten fasteners until snug, then back off a quarter turn. Use appropriate washers to spread the load.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for abrasive processes
  • Impact-resistant protective shields
  • Durable work surfaces in polishing applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to dissipate heat and fumes.
