Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ sharp, fine-toothed blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points.Use washers and allow for slight expansion/contraction by not over-tightening fasteners. Consider slotted holes for larger panels.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and protective barriers
  • Sight glasses for tanks and vessels
  • Durable covers for janitorial equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without appropriate UV protective coatings if outdoor use is intended.
