Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools or blades designed for plastics to ensure clean and precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential failure.Use oversized holes for fasteners and install with washers to distribute pressure evenly, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective shields
  • Glazing and skylights
