Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ sharp, specialized router bits or saw blades designed for polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Utilize washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Allow for slight thermal expansion and contraction by not over-tightening.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Glazing
  • Industrial Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when machining or thermoforming to dissipate fumes.
