Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized polycarbonate cutting tools for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Employ pilot holes and use washers to distribute pressure evenly when fastening, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Custom machine guards for pressure vessels
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows in temperature-controlled enclosures
  • Insulating barriers in high-temperature processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to continuous temperatures exceeding 250°F.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with strong alkalis or chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
