Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard wood saw blade, leading to chipping and rough edges.Employ a fine-toothed blade specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, causing stress cracks.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter, and consider using a pilot hole for larger diameters.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Safety Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV-protective coating, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
