Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades that can cause chipping or melting.Employ specialized blades designed for plastics, such as those with a high tooth count and negative rake angle, or use a laser cutter for precise, chip-free results.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.When fastening, use washers and avoid over-tightening. Allow for thermal expansion by slightly oversizing mounting holes.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Glazing
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • Industrial Enclosures
  • Custom Fabrication Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves when handling and fabricating polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV coating or protection, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation over time.
