Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized shear blades or routers with high-speed steel or carbide-tipped bits for clean, precise cuts without chipping or delamination.
Applying excessive clamping pressure during fabrication.Utilize controlled clamping forces and distribute pressure evenly across the sheet to avoid inducing stress points that could lead to cracking.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective shields for grinding and sanding operations
  • Substrates for specialized polishing pads in high-tolerance manufacturing
  • Wear-resistant liners for material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that are incompatible with polycarbonate, as they may cause surface damage or hazing.
