Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong type of adhesive, leading to delamination or surface damage.Consult the polycarbonate manufacturer's recommendations or test adhesives in an inconspicuous area before full application.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the polycarbonate sheet.Use washers and tighten fasteners evenly, avoiding excessive torque to prevent material compromise.

Common Applications

  • Custom polishing jigs and fixtures
  • Abrasion-resistant protective covers
  • Specialty grinding pads

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV stabilizers, as this can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that are incompatible with polycarbonate, as they can cause surface damage or crazing.
