Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper cooling, leading to melting and poor edge quality.Employ fine-tooth blades and a consistent feed rate, or use laser cutting with appropriate parameters and air assist for clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or distortion in the polycarbonate.Utilize washers and avoid drilling holes too close to the edge. Allow for thermal expansion by using slotted holes or grommets where appropriate.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Custom material handling bins and totes
  • Protective barriers and partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and fabricating polycarbonate.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
