Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metalworking tools for cutting or drilling.Utilize sharp, high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for plastics to ensure clean cuts and prevent thermal stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress and potential cracking.Employ captive nuts or pre-drilled holes with washers to distribute pressure evenly and avoid over-tightening, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Custom material handling bins and trays
  • Protective shields and barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
