Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saws with fine teeth for clean cuts and to prevent melting or chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize appropriate washers and do not overtighten screws; allow for slight thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for pneumatic equipment
  • Transparent enclosures for pneumatic actuators and cylinders
  • Pressure vessel sight glasses in low-pressure pneumatic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating to avoid inhaling dust or fumes.
