Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized cutting blades for polycarbonate, such as a high-tooth-count fine-pitch saw or a laser cutter, to achieve clean edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Utilize washers and allow for slight thermal expansion by not overtightening fasteners; consult material specifications for recommended torque values.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for high-pressure equipment
  • Protective covers for temperature-sensitive components
  • Sight glasses in fluid handling systems operating under pressure

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to high concentrations of certain solvents which may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Consider thermal expansion and contraction when designing mounting systems.
