Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal cutting tools which can cause chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades and cutting techniques designed for polycarbonate to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking or deformation.Use appropriate washers and hand-tighten fasteners, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding in Polishing Operations
  • Protective Shields for Grinding Stations
  • Custom Fixtures for Abrasive Work

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can scratch or craze the polycarbonate surface.
