Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to melting or chipping.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized router bits with appropriate speed and feed rates for clean, chip-free cuts.
Over-tightening mechanical fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Utilize oversized holes or slots for fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Glazing for industrial windows and skylights
  • Protective shields and barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive chemicals or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during any hot forming or machining processes to dissipate fumes.
