Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saws with appropriate tooth geometry for clean, chip-free cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Employ washers and avoid overtightening; ensure fasteners are appropriately sized for the sheet thickness.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic control panel enclosures
  • Machine guarding for pneumatic actuators and cylinders
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic reservoirs and filters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without UV-protective coating, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline chemicals or chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can cause stress cracking.
