Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for polycarbonate cutting to achieve clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Employ oversized holes and use washers to distribute pressure, allowing for a minimum of 1/8" expansion per foot in all directions.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Safety Glazing
  • Protective Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions and aromatic hydrocarbons, which can cause stress cracking.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may scratch or damage the surface.
