Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal cutting tools which can cause chipping or melting.Utilize specialized plastic cutting blades (e.g., fine-tooth carbide-tipped blades) and maintain a consistent, moderate feed rate.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress cracks.Maintain an adequate edge distance for drilled holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter, and consider using slightly oversized holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Protective Barriers and Partitions
  • Glazing and Skylights
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • DIY Projects requiring high impact resistance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and cutting polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate's integrity.
  • Consider thermal expansion and contraction when permanently mounting the sheet; allow for adequate clearance.
