Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not suited for polycarbonate.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastics to prevent chipping or melting.
Improper fastening leading to stress cracks.Drill oversized holes for fasteners and avoid overtightening to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress concentrations.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Protective barriers and partitions
  • Impact-resistant windows and sight glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when cutting or fabricating to dissipate fumes.
