Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard screws that are too tight, causing stress and potential cracking.Utilize oversized holes with neoprene washers to allow for expansion and contraction, and avoid overtightening fasteners.
Cutting polycarbonate with standard woodworking blades, leading to chipping and rough edges.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades with a high tooth count and appropriate speed for a clean, precise cut.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface and compromise optical clarity.
