Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard wood-cutting blade, which can lead to chipping and melting.Utilize a saw blade specifically designed for plastics or non-ferrous metals, with a fine tooth pitch and appropriate rake angle.
Applying excessive pressure during cutting, causing heat buildup and potential melting.Allow the saw to do the work; maintain a steady, moderate feed rate and use lubrication if recommended for the specific cutting operation.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards
  • Protective shields
  • Glazing and windows
  • Point-of-purchase displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight at temperatures exceeding 265°F (129°C) without proper UV protection or consideration of thermal expansion.
