Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized router bits or circular saw blades with a high tooth count and appropriate feed rate for clean polycarbonate cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracking in the polycarbonate.Employ washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Tighten fasteners until snug, allowing for slight expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pneumatic cylinders and actuators
  • Transparent enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Impact shields for air-powered tools and equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to prolonged UV radiation unless specifically treated, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
