Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped blades and proper feed rates to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and avoid direct, point-load tightening; allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Precision polishing jigs and fixtures
  • Abrasion-resistant protective shields
  • Customized grinding and buffing surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it may degrade over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents not explicitly approved for polycarbonate, as they can cause surface damage or hazing.
