Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling bits without proper technique, leading to cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits with a pilot point and a 60-degree point angle. Drill at a slow speed and use a backing material to support the sheet during drilling.
Improper cleaning solvents that can craze or cloud the polycarbonate.Use mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or solvents like acetone, toluene, or MEK.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for grinding and polishing equipment
  • Protective shields for abrasive blasting chambers
  • Work surfaces in polishing and finishing operations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Polycarbonate is susceptible to scratching; use appropriate handling and cleaning procedures to maintain surface integrity.
