Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades which can melt and chip the polycarbonate.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades designed for plastic, ensuring proper speed and feed rates to prevent melting and chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute load, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction without inducing stress.

Common Applications

  • Protective Machine Guarding
  • Industrial Glazing and Windows
  • Custom Fabricated Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive cleaning agents or solvents, which can damage the surface.
  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to stress cracking when exposed to certain chemicals; verify compatibility before use.
