Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard saw blades not designed for plastics.Employ fine-tooth carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper support.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling and consider pilot holes or a slower drill speed to avoid cracking.
Applying excessive clamping force during installation.Use moderate clamping force and consider slotted holes to allow for thermal expansion, preventing stress-induced fractures.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays and Signage
  • Custom Fabrication and Prototyping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when cutting or fabricating.
  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to certain chemicals; consult compatibility charts before exposure to solvents or aggressive cleaning agents.
