Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper technique, leading to stress fractures.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools and follow recommended speed and feed rates to minimize thermal stress and prevent cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential deformation.Utilize washers and torque-limiting tools to ensure fasteners are snug but not overly tightened, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding in abrasive environments
  • Precision polishing fixture substrates
  • Abrasion-resistant work surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions and chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the surface, as this will cause scratches and reduce clarity.
