Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress and lead to premature failure of the polycarbonate.Utilize washers and allow for slight expansion/contraction by not overtightening screws or bolts.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Material Handling Trays and Chutes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as this can degrade the material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and temperature control during fabrication processes like thermoforming to prevent material degradation.
