Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a blade not suitable for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ a saw with a fine-tooth blade specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate or acrylic.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracking in the polycarbonate.Use oversized holes for fasteners and allow for thermal expansion; do not overtighten.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Impact shields
  • Protective barriers
  • Hoppers and chutes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline chemicals, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may scratch or cloud the surface.
