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 melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion and contraction by leaving a small gap around fastener holes.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Glazing for Industrial Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

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