Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or CNC routing for clean, precise cuts and to prevent thermal stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations.Employ properly sized fasteners with appropriate washers and torque settings to avoid cracking or deformation.

Common Applications

  • Protective guards for machinery in lifting zones
  • Custom fabrication of durable pulling components
  • Reinforcement plates for heavy-duty rigging

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as it can degrade material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
