Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastic to prevent chipping and ensure a clean edge.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without relief cuts.Drill holes at least twice the material thickness from the edge and consider adding small relief cuts at corners of cutouts to prevent stress concentration.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective barriers
  • Conveyor system components
  • Impact shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they can scratch the surface.
