Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect saw blades, leading to rough edges and potential cracking.Employ sharp, specifically designed blades for polycarbonate, such as a fine-tooth carbide-tipped blade, and maintain a consistent feed rate.
Over-tightening clamps, causing stress fractures or deformation of the sheet.Use soft clamping materials (e.g., rubber or felt pads) and apply only enough pressure to secure the sheet without distorting its surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Security Glazing
  • Skylights and Domes
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays
  • Sound Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be scratched; use appropriate cleaning agents and non-abrasive cloths.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
