Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic cutting tools with appropriate tooth geometry and coolant to prevent heat buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Use washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion by slightly oversizing fastener holes.

Common Applications

  • Custom Jigs and Fixtures for Machining
  • Protective Guards for Polishing Equipment
  • Abrasion-Resistant Work Surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be scratched by abrasive cleaners; use non-abrasive cleaning solutions.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV light without proper coating, which can lead to yellowing.
