Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or laser cutting for a clean, precise edge.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress fractures.Use gasketed fasteners or slotted holes to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and tighten to manufacturer's recommended torque.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Filtration Screens
  • Protective Machine Guarding
  • Optical Filter Substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh solvents that may degrade polycarbonate.
