Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard wood cutting blades, which can cause chipping and melting.Employ specialized blades for polycarbonate or plastics, featuring a high tooth count and appropriate rake angle.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks or deformation.Use oversized holes with appropriate washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards
  • Protective barriers
  • Glazing and windows
  • Signage
  • Industrial equipment covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
