Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize carbide-tipped blades and bits specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to achieve clean edges and prevent thermal stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ oversized holes and use washers when fastening polycarbonate to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress concentrations.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Industrial Signage
