Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped tools specifically designed for cutting plastics to prevent chipping and melting.
Improper cleaning agents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Use only mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh solvents.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Optical inspection fixtures
  • Protective covers for sensitive instruments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless a UV-coated grade is specified, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
