Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ sharp, specialized cutting blades (e.g., carbide-tipped) designed for plastics, utilizing appropriate feed rates and cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential delamination or fracture.Use washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact; ensure fasteners are snug but not overtightened, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Abrasion-resistant machine guarding
  • High-impact polishing substrates
  • Protective screens for abrasive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
