Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized plastic cutting saws for clean, precise cuts without chipping or cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ oversized holes and use washers with fasteners to distribute load and prevent localized stress. Avoid mechanical fastening methods that induce high tension.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Impact-Resistant Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV coating, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to prevent the buildup of potentially hazardous fumes.
