Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting blades designed for wood or metal, which can cause chipping and poor edge quality.Employ blades specifically designed for plastics, featuring a high tooth count and appropriate rake angle. Ensure blade speed is optimized to prevent melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks or deformation of the polycarbonate.Use oversized holes for fasteners and allow for expansion and contraction. Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards in janitorial equipment manufacturing
  • Custom splash guards for plumbing installations
  • Durable signage and informational displays in high-traffic areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless a UV-protected grade is specified.
  • When cleaning, use mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface.
