Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped blades or routers specifically designed for plastics to achieve clean cuts and avoid material stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.When mechanically fastening, use washers and do not overtighten; allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the material.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards
  • Glazing for industrial enclosures
  • Custom fabricated components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface finish.
