Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized blades for plastics or recommended saw types to prevent chipping and cracking.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without pre-drilling or proper bit selection.Always pre-drill holes and maintain an adequate distance from the edge; use sharp, pointed drill bits designed for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic system enclosures
  • Machine guarding for automated machinery
  • Protective shields for high-pressure components
  • Transparent inspection windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or chlorinated hydrocarbons, as these can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or cloud the surface.
