Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized blades or routers designed for polycarbonate to prevent chipping, cracking, or melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use a torque wrench and distribute the load with washers to prevent excessive localized pressure on the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for pneumatic equipment
  • Custom enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Sight glasses for pressure vessels and air tanks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to degradation.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions and certain organic solvents which can cause crazing or dissolution.
