Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metalworking drill bits without proper speeds and feeds.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits or carbide-tipped bits at slower speeds with a light feed rate to avoid heat buildup and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential fracturing.Apply fasteners with a washer to distribute load and tighten them snugly, but avoid excessive force. Consider using expansion-type fasteners if extreme temperature fluctuations are expected.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding for Pneumatic Machinery
  • Sight Glasses and Inspection Windows
  • Protective Housings for Pneumatic Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or certain aromatic hydrocarbons, as these may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to prevent the inhalation of fine plastic dust.
