Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting blades not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized blades with a high tooth count and appropriate rake angle designed for cutting polycarbonate to ensure clean, smooth edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the sheet.Utilize appropriately sized fasteners with washers and allow for thermal expansion by not rigidly securing the sheet. Consider slotted holes for larger installations.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Industrial Glazing and Windows
  • Custom Fabricated Parts and Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline or aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, which can degrade the material.
