Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metalworking tools for cutting, which can lead to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized plastic cutting tools or high-speed saws with appropriate blade configurations for polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracks.Use washers and do not overtighten screws; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic system enclosures
  • Machine guarding for pneumatic equipment
  • Transparent covers for pneumatic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions or aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with polycarbonate, as some cutting or heating processes can release fumes.
