Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or saws with fine teeth for a clean, precise cut.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential sheet failure.Employ washers and allow for slight expansion by not overtightening screws or bolts; consider slotted holes for dynamic applications.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding & Enclosures
  • Sight Glasses for Pressure Vessels
  • Thermal Barriers & Insulation Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically damage the polycarbonate surface.
