Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized saw blades (e.g., fine-tooth carbide-tipped blades) or laser cutting for clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not overtightened. Consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Protective barriers and partitions
  • Custom material handling bins and trays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV protective coatings, which can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.
