Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a dull or inappropriate saw blade, leading to chipping or melting.Employ a sharp, high-quality carbide-tipped blade specifically designed for cutting plastics. Maintain a moderate feed rate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks around drilled holes.Use oversized holes or slots for fasteners and avoid excessive torque. Employ washers to distribute pressure.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Sight Glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can craze or degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
