Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades or laser cutters designed for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress fractures.Use washers and avoid overtightening. Allow for slight thermal expansion by not clamping the sheet too rigidly, especially in dynamic environments.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic machine guarding
  • Transparent enclosures for control panels
  • Safety shields for pneumatic equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate material.
