Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ a fine-tooth saw blade (e.g., carbide-tipped) or a laser cutter specifically designed for plastic materials.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, causing stress concentration and potential failure.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 1.5 times the hole diameter when drilling.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Structural Bracing
  • Protective Enclosures
  • Industrial Partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and fabricating polycarbonate.
  • Avoid contact with strong solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
