Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling, leading to melting and material degradation.Employ sharp drill bits specifically designed for plastics, and utilize a slow, consistent drilling speed with adequate lubrication or cooling to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Hand-tighten fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure evenly. Ensure a slight gap between the fastener head and the sheet's surface.

Common Applications

  • HVAC System Components (e.g., sight glasses, guards)
  • Industrial Oven Doors and Windows
  • Heat Exchanger Sight Panels
  • Protective Guards for Heating Elements

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not expose to abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface and reduce clarity.
