Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard wood cutting blades, which can cause chipping and delamination.Employ carbide-tipped blades designed for plastics or a CNC router with appropriate bit selection for a smooth, precise cut.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks and potential failure.Utilize oversized holes for fasteners and consider using washers to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers and Shields
  • Industrial Fabrication and Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and cutting polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV-resistant coatings or films, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation over time.
