Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too small for fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Always drill holes 1/16" to 1/8" larger than the fastener diameter to allow for expansion and contraction.
Using standard metalworking tools, which can cause chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastics cutting and drilling tools designed for polycarbonate to ensure clean cuts and prevent damage.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pneumatic machinery
  • Sight glasses in pneumatic circuits
  • Protective enclosures for pneumatic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents not specifically approved for polycarbonate, as they can cause surface damage or crazing.
