Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without a polycarbonate-specific bit, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped drill bits designed for plastics or a router with a specialized bit for clean hole creation.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential delamination or cracking.Employ washers with a larger diameter and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Shields
  • Industrial Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings as this can lead to yellowing and brittleness.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.
