Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic.Utilize a fine-tooth saw or a specialized plastic cutting blade to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure evenly, avoiding direct contact with the polycarbonate surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shielding
  • Glazing and Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coating.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
