Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades or routers with appropriate speeds and cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking of the polycarbonate.Use washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight. Consider slotted holes for expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Protective barriers for industrial equipment
  • Custom fabricated enclosures and displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface.
