Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to avoid chipping or melting.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without expansion.Drill holes slightly larger than the fastener and incorporate an oversized washer to allow for thermal expansion and prevent stress cracking.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective shipping inserts
  • Durable packaging lids and bases
  • Machine guards for packaging equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to high concentrations of certain solvents, as they may cause crazing or stress cracking.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to dissipate heat and prevent material degradation.
