Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools with appropriate rake angles for clean cuts and to prevent melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Utilize washers and do not overtighten fasteners. Consider pre-drilling holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective shielding for abrasive machinery
  • Polishing jigs and fixtures
  • Custom fabrication of wear-resistant components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents which may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to dissipate heat and prevent melting.
