Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard saw blade that can cause chipping or melting.Employ a blade designed for plastics, such as a triple-chip grind or a carbide-tipped blade with a high tooth count.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use appropriate washers and allow for thermal expansion by not overtightening mounting hardware. Consider slotted holes for larger sheets.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosures
  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Sight Glasses for Pneumatic Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or certain chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade Polycarbonate.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when fabricating or machining to dissipate heat and prevent material distortion.
