Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard saw blade not designed for plastics.Employ a high-tooth-count blade formulated for polycarbonate or acrylic to achieve smooth, chip-free cuts and prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners during assembly.Use appropriate clearance holes and consider using rubber washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress fractures.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Protective barriers and partitions
  • Custom material handling bins and trays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV-resistant coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface finish and optical clarity of the polycarbonate.
