Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using an incorrect saw blade, leading to melting or chipping during cutting.Employ a fine-tooth carbide-tipped blade specifically designed for cutting plastics, and maintain a consistent cutting speed with adequate lubrication or cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the polycarbonate.Utilize appropriately sized screws with washers and avoid excessive torque. Consider using captive nuts or inserts for more secure, stress-reduced mounting.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic enclosures
  • Machine guarding for pneumatic machinery
  • Transparent covers for pneumatic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
