Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades for cutting.Employ carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Utilize washers and do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
  • Sight glasses for hoppers and bins
  • Conveyor system components
  • Impact shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged contact with strong alkaline solutions, as this can lead to stress cracking.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the surface finish.
