Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutters for clean, chip-free edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize oversized holes with washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and apply fasteners judiciously.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Industrial Signage
  • Glazing for Harsh Environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can degrade material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
