Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for plastics to prevent chipping and ensure clean edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracks.Utilize oversized holes with neoprene washers and avoid direct contact between fasteners and the polycarbonate surface; tighten just enough to secure the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
  • Custom shipping enclosures
  • Impact-resistant windows and panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline cleaners or solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • When cutting or drilling, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves.
