Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized plastic cutting blades or routing bits with appropriate feed rates and cooling to maintain edge integrity.
Applying excessive clamping force during installation, causing stress points and potential delamination.Employ a uniform, moderate clamping pressure, and consider using gasketed fasteners or slotted holes to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows
  • Custom jig and fixture components
  • Display and signage substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents or chemicals which may degrade polycarbonate.
