Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized saw blades and router bits designed for polycarbonate, ensuring adequate cooling and slow feed rates.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential sheet failure.Utilize washers and allow for thermal expansion by leaving a slight gap or using expansion joints around fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Industrial Glazing and Skylights
  • Protective Housings and Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically damage the polycarbonate surface.
