Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools or fine-tooth blades designed for plastics to ensure a clean, burr-free edge.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking.Use washers and avoid direct contact between fasteners and the polycarbonate. Do not overtighten; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Protective barriers and enclosures
  • Glazing for industrial equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or fabricating the material.
