Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades with a fine tooth pitch for clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress cracking in the polycarbonate.Use washers and do not overtighten; allow for thermal expansion by drilling slightly oversized holes.

Common Applications

  • Protective guards for abrasive machinery
  • Jigs and fixtures for polishing operations
  • Optical windows in harsh environments
  • Impact-resistant machine covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
