Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose tools not rated for polycarbonate can cause cracking or chipping.Employ specialized cutting tools (e.g., carbide-tipped blades) and drill bits designed for plastics to ensure clean cuts and prevent material failure.
Applying excessive heat during thermoforming without proper calibration can lead to distortion or degradation.Follow recommended thermoforming temperature profiles and use calibrated heating elements to achieve uniform shaping without compromising material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective shields
  • Custom enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can damage the surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and machining processes to dissipate heat and dust.
