Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades and techniques, such as scoring and snapping or using a fine-tooth saw with a slow feed rate.
Over-tightening fasteners, inducing stress points and potential fracture.Utilize oversized holes for fasteners and apply a washer to distribute pressure evenly. Tighten only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for material handling equipment
  • Protective shields for conveyors and automated systems
  • Impact-resistant windows and sight glasses in warehouses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions or certain organic solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Maintain appropriate ventilation when fabricating or machining to avoid inhaling dust particles.
