Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to ensure clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracking and delamination.Use oversized holes for fasteners and install with washers to distribute pressure evenly, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
