Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized saw blades and cutting techniques optimized for polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-drilling holes causing stress points.Drill holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Impact Shields
  • Glazing for Material Handling Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh solvents and abrasive cleaners which can degrade polycarbonate.
