Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal cutting tools without proper support.Employ specialized blades for plastics and ensure adequate sheet support during cutting to avoid stress fractures.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without reinforcement.Maintain a minimum edge distance for drilled holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter, to prevent stress concentration.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Glazing for industrial equipment
  • Custom enclosures and housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
