Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools with appropriate rake angles and speeds to prevent melting and chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and allow for slight expansion/contraction by not fully tightening fasteners. Consider pre-drilling holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for grinding and polishing machinery
  • Custom jigs and fixtures for surface finishing
  • Machine guards and enclosures requiring impact resistance
  • Clear covers for inspection ports in abrasive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions, as this can cause crazing.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
