Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to cracking or chipping.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or routers with appropriate speeds and feeds to prevent thermal stress and material damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential crazing or cracking.Utilize washers and a torque wrench to ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight, distributing load evenly across the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Sight Glasses & Inspection Panels
  • Custom Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV-resistant coating, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the surface or compromise optical clarity.
