Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard saw blade without proper support, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize a fine-tooth carbide blade and ensure the sheet is well-supported during cutting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential fracture.Tighten fasteners snugly but avoid excessive torque. Use washers to spread the load.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pneumatic equipment
  • Protective enclosures for control panels
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic cylinders and valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Use appropriate safety eyewear and gloves when cutting or fabricating the material.
