Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for polycarbonate to ensure clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Use washers with all fasteners and tighten them only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for abrasive machinery
  • Polishing substrates and fixtures
  • Custom jig and tool fabrication for finishing processes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it may lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength over time.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade the polycarbonate surface and compromise its optical clarity or structural integrity.
