Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to cracking or chipping.Utilize sharp, specialized cutting tools for polycarbonate, such as fine-tooth saw blades or laser cutters, and maintain appropriate feed rates.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Ensure fasteners are snug but not overly tight, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Protective Glazing for Equipment
  • Optical Components and Lenses
  • Signage and Display Substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the surface.
