Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without proper spacing or washers.Utilize pan-head screws with neoprene washers to distribute load and prevent over-tightening, which can lead to stress cracking.
Cutting polycarbonate with tools designed for wood or metal without proper blades or speeds.Employ fine-toothed blades specifically designed for plastics and maintain moderate cutting speeds to avoid melting and chipping.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding for Pneumatic Equipment
  • Custom Enclosures for Actuators and Valves
  • Transparent Covers for Pressure Regulators and Filters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain chlorinated hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that may scratch or cloud the surface.
