Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to cracking or chipping.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades designed for plastic or CNC routing/laser cutting for clean edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential cracking.Employ oversized holes and slotted fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards
  • Protective shields
  • Custom enclosures
  • Signage substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh solvents (e.g., acetone, MEK) which can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Allow for thermal expansion in mounting designs; polycarbonate expands/contracts significantly with temperature changes.
