Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized router bits, saw blades, or laser parameters recommended for polycarbonate to ensure clean cuts.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper support, causing stress cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance for drilled holes and consider using pilot holes or a slower drill speed with coolant.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Glazing and windows
  • Industrial enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves during handling and fabrication.
  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, which can degrade polycarbonate's surface.
