Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansion.Utilize oversized holes or slotted fasteners to accommodate polycarbonate's thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress cracks.
Machining at excessive speeds or with dull tooling.Employ sharp, specialized tooling and maintain appropriate feed rates and speeds to prevent melting and achieve clean cuts.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective shields
  • Glazing for industrial structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents or cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive point loads or impacts beyond its rated capacity.
