Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard glass cutting tools, which can cause chipping or shattering.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools or fine-tooth blades designed for plastics, ensuring a clean and precise cut.
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Employ a 'snug' tightening method and consider using rubber or neoprene washers to cushion the fasteners and absorb vibration.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Windows and Shields
  • Inspection Fixtures and Sight Glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents or abrasive cleaners that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Do not expose to continuous high temperatures exceeding the material's operational limit, as this can lead to deformation.
