Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard saw blades not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize high-quality, fine-tooth carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential cracking in the polycarbonate.Employ oversized holes and use appropriate washers to distribute the load and allow for thermal expansion, avoiding excessive torque during fastening.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields and Enclosures
  • Industrial Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain aggressive chemicals that may cause crazing or degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
