Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard saw blades not designed for plastics.Employ carbide-tipped blades with appropriate tooth geometry and a slower feed rate to prevent melting and chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners during assembly.Use oversized holes with washers and allow for thermal expansion to prevent stress cracking.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Glazing for Industrial Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Consider thermal expansion when designing and installing, especially in applications with significant temperature fluctuations.
