Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate, and maintain a slow, steady feed rate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation of the polycarbonate.Use washers to distribute load and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Custom Pneumatic Enclosures
  • Machine Guards and Shields
  • Transparent Pneumatic Component Housing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can craze or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
