Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking saws which can chip or melt polycarbonate.Utilize specialized plastic cutting blades or a high-speed saw with a fine-tooth configuration for clean cuts.
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the sheet; consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards for janitorial equipment
  • Custom sight glasses for plumbing systems
  • Fabrication of durable splash guards and barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents not explicitly rated for polycarbonate, as they can degrade the material.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, which can cause yellowing and embrittlement over time.
