Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades with appropriate tooth geometry and speeds to achieve clean cuts and prevent thermal damage.
Excessive clamping force during assembly, causing stress cracks or distortion.Apply fasteners with washers and avoid overtightening. Use adhesives specifically formulated for polycarbonate and follow manufacturer's curing instructions.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and safety shields
  • Custom enclosures and housings
  • Industrial glazing and inspection windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV-resistant coatings or films, which can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface or compromise the material's integrity.
