Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize fine-tooth saw blades (e.g., carbide-tipped) or laser cutting for clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress that can lead to spiderweb cracking.Employ washers to distribute pressure and allow for slight expansion/contraction; do not overtighten.

Common Applications

  • Protective packaging for fragile goods
  • Custom shipping case construction
  • Machine guarding for packaging equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating if outdoor applications are anticipated.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the polycarbonate surface.
