Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades or routers designed for cutting polycarbonate to ensure clean, smooth edges and prevent material damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the polycarbonate.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Consider pre-drilling oversized holes to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder guards
  • Machine enclosures for automation
  • Sight glasses and inspection ports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as it can lead to degradation.
  • Use only cleaning agents specifically recommended for polycarbonate to prevent surface damage or hazing.
