Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ tools specifically designed for polycarbonate, such as carbide-tipped blades or laser cutters, and maintain appropriate feed rates to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Use appropriately sized clearance holes and consider using washers to distribute pressure evenly when fastening.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective shields
  • Custom enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that may scratch or cloud the surface.
