Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized plastic cutting tools to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress fractures.Employ oversized washers or slotted holes to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and tighten fasteners only until snug.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Glazing for Safety Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses and gloves when handling and cutting.
