Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic materials, leading to chipping or fracturing.Employ specialized router bits, saw blades, or laser cutters formulated for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners during assembly, causing stress points and potential cracking.Use oversized holes for fasteners and consider using rubber washers to distribute pressure evenly and allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Glazing
  • Signage Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
