Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades with fine teeth and appropriate cooling to prevent damage during cutting.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes, typically at least twice the diameter of the hole.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Protective shields and barriers
  • Glazing for industrial equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Use only mild detergents and soft cloths for cleaning; harsh chemicals can damage the surface.
