Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastics. Maintain a consistent feed rate and appropriate speed to minimize heat buildup and stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential delamination or cracking.Employ washers and appropriate torque settings when fastening. Avoid direct contact of fasteners with the polycarbonate surface; use spaced mounting holes where feasible.

Common Applications

  • Abrasion-resistant work surfaces
  • Protective guards for polishing machinery
  • Substrates for buffing and finishing pads

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents, as they can degrade polycarbonate's structural integrity and optical properties.
  • Prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating may lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength.
