Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that generate excessive heat, leading to melting or cracking.Employ specialized cutting tools for polycarbonate, such as a high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saw blade with appropriate tooth geometry and coolant.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential delamination or cracking of the polycarbonate.Use washers and do not over-tighten screws. Ensure fasteners are sized appropriately for the sheet thickness and load requirements.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Pneumatic Enclosures
  • Sight Glasses and Inspection Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV-resistant coatings, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
