Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers.Utilize flat washers with all fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface and prevent localized stress.
Cutting or drilling with dull tools, causing chipping.Employ sharp, specialized cutting and drilling tools designed for plastics, and use moderate speeds to minimize heat buildup and prevent material damage.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields for Polishing Equipment
  • Sight Glasses in Abrasive Environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and brittleness.
