Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic cutting tools which can cause stress cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools and techniques, such as scoring and snapping or using a fine-tooth saw blade appropriate for plastics.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking.Use oversized holes for fasteners and install with washers to distribute load evenly. Do not overtighten.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
  • Abrasion-resistant shields
  • Specialized polishing substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Chemical resistance is limited; consult compatibility charts before exposure to solvents or harsh chemicals.
