Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or saws designed for plastic fabrication to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential material failure.Utilize washers and avoid overtightening fasteners. Allow for slight thermal expansion by not fastening too rigidly.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Protective barriers and enclosures
  • Industrial glazing and skylights

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface and compromise its integrity.
