Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades or specialized polycarbonate cutting tools to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening; allow for thermal expansion if mounting in an enclosed area.

Common Applications

  • Surface polishing jigs and fixtures
  • Protective shrouds for automated abrading machinery
  • Templates for precision grinding operations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that may scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
