Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades for plastics or a laser cutter to achieve clean, precise cuts without damaging the material.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the polycarbonate.Use washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tightened. Consider slotted holes for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Protective Machine Guards
  • Custom Industrial Packaging
  • Glazing for Enclosures and Partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive chemicals, which may degrade the polycarbonate surface.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or tools, as they can scratch the optically clear finish.
