Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to cracking or chipping.Utilize fine-tooth saw blades (carbide-tipped recommended) or specialized polycarbonate cutting tools. Maintain a steady, controlled cutting speed.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential fracture.Employ washers and allow for slight expansion/contraction by not fully tightening screws. Consider oversized holes for fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Industrial Glazing
  • Signage Substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves during handling and fabrication.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, which can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
