Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized plastic cutting tools with adequate cooling to prevent material damage.
Drilling holes too close to edges without proper support, causing stress cracks.Maintain sufficient edge distance when drilling and consider pre-drilling pilot holes for larger fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Industrial Enclosures
  • Protective Windows and Glazing
  • Custom Fabricated Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Thermal expansion and contraction should be accounted for in large installations to prevent warping or stress.
