Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise edges without delamination or chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize washers and allow for thermal expansion by ensuring holes are slightly oversized and fasteners are snug but not over-torqued.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
  • Custom shipping enclosures
  • Impact-resistant display cases

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline chemicals, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Proper ventilation is recommended during fabrication processes to manage airborne particles.
