Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper cutting tools leading to stress cracks or delamination.Utilize sharp, specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as fine-tooth carbide saws or laser cutters. Avoid excessive force.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use appropriate washers. Do not overtighten; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic System Enclosures
  • Machine Guarding for Actuators and Cylinders
  • Transparent Sight Glasses and Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and handling procedures when working with polycarbonate, especially during cutting or heating operations.
