Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades or routers with high tooth counts and proper cooling to achieve clean cuts without damaging the polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation of the sheet.Utilize washers and do not exceed the recommended torque specifications. Consider slotted holes for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding in polishing and grinding operations
  • Custom fabrication of durable work surfaces
  • Abrasion-resistant enclosures and displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.
