Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for polycarbonate to ensure clean cuts and prevent thermal damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Employ oversized holes and install washers to distribute the load, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction without inducing stress.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
  • Optical component substrates
  • Specialized polishing jigs and fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis and certain organic solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • When heating polycarbonate, ensure proper ventilation to dissipate fumes.
