Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard wood cutting blade.Employ a blade designed for plastics to achieve clean cuts and avoid melting or chipping.
Applying excessive force during cutting.Allow the saw to do the work; slow and steady cuts prevent material damage.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Industrial Sight Glasses
  • Security Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves when handling and cutting polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the sheet is UV-coated, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
