Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard saw blades not designed for plastics, leading to chipping and poor edge quality.Utilize carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate or other plastics, ensuring proper tooth pitch and set.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without pre-drilling or using appropriate drill bit geometry, causing stress cracks.Drill holes with a sharp drill bit designed for plastics, employing a slow speed and applying steady pressure. Consider starting with a smaller pilot hole.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Custom Enclosures
  • Glazing Applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to continuous temperatures exceeding its service limit to prevent deformation.
