Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for polycarbonate fabrication.
Applying excessive clamping pressure during installation, causing stress concentration and potential failure.Employ a balanced fastening approach and use washers to distribute load evenly across the mounting surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Industrial glazing and windows
  • Protective covers for sensitive equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
