Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills or saw blades not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize carbide-tipped saw blades and specialized drill bits for plastics to prevent chipping and melting.
Securing the sheet too tightly with fasteners, leading to stress fractures.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure, allowing for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosures & Guards
  • Machine Vision Windows
  • High-Impact Sight Glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless a UV-resistant grade is specified.
  • Use caution when machining to prevent overheating and melting of the material.
