Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise edges.
Excessive clamping force, causing stress risers and potential failure under pressure or temperature fluctuations.Employ a uniform, moderate clamping pressure with appropriate gaskets or washers to distribute load.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel windows and sight glasses
  • Temperature-controlled enclosure panels
  • Protective guards for high-pressure equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with polycarbonate, especially during machining or bonding.
