Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers that can concentrate stress.Utilize oversized washers to distribute the load and prevent localized stress points.
Cutting polycarbonate with dull blades, leading to chipping and micro-fractures.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for plastics to ensure clean, smooth edges.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding and guards
  • Custom displays and signage
  • Prototyping and model making

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive heat or flame, as it is combustible.
