Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Securing the sheet too tightly, leading to stress fractures.Utilize oversized holes for fasteners and install with washers to distribute pressure evenly, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Optical measuring fixtures
  • Inspection gauges and templates
  • Metrology equipment components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as this can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Not recommended for use with strong alkaline solvents or chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can cause crazing or stress cracking.
