Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades or routers designed for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts without damaging the material.
Drilling holes too close to the edge or without proper pilot holes, causing stress cracks.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes and use pilot holes to initiate the drilling process, preventing material failure.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Custom enclosures for electronic equipment
  • Protective barriers and partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining polycarbonate to dissipate heat and prevent melting.
