Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades and cutting techniques designed for plastics, such as carbide-tipped blades with appropriate tooth geometry and cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracking in the polycarbonate.Use washers and allow for slight expansion/contraction by not overtightening fasteners. Consider slotted holes for larger installations.

Common Applications

  • Custom Measuring Fixtures
  • Inspection Gauges
  • Protective Shields for Sensitive Equipment
  • Template Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Use only cleaning agents recommended for polycarbonate to prevent surface damage or crazing.
