Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades for cutting, leading to chipping and cracking.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades with appropriate tooth geometry and feed rates for polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential fracture.Utilize oversized holes and consider using neoprene washers to distribute pressure evenly during fastening.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields
  • Industrial Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Exercise caution during cutting and drilling to prevent thermal stress and potential cracking.
