Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without peck drilling or pilot holes, leading to stress cracks.Employ a sharp bit designed for plastics and use a peck drilling technique, or drill pilot holes prior to final hole size creation.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress and cause the polycarbonate to crack.Use washers and tighten fasteners only until snug, ensuring even pressure distribution.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosures and Guards
  • Sight Glasses for Pneumatic Systems
  • Custom Component Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement over time.
