Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits, leading to cracking.Drill pilot holes using a sharp bit designed for plastics, and consider using a slightly oversized hole to accommodate thermal expansion.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration.Tighten fasteners only until snug, and always use washers to spread the load over a larger area.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Structural bracing components
  • Protective shields and barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the sheet to continuous exposure to temperatures exceeding 250°F, as this can lead to deformation.
