Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic.Employ carbide-tipped saws or routers specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use oversized holes for fasteners and install with washers to distribute load, allowing for thermal expansion/contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Impact-resistant windows and sight glasses
  • Protective shields for conveyor systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive chemicals which may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or fabricating to manage dust and fumes.
