Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades designed for cutting polycarbonate. Maintain a consistent feed rate and proper blade speed to prevent heat buildup and clean cuts.
Over-drilling pilot holes or using excessive force when fastening, causing stress cracks.Drill pilot holes slightly larger than the screw shank. Use washers to distribute the load and tighten fasteners only until snug to avoid inducing stress.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosures and Guards
  • Custom Manifold Fabrication
  • Sight Glasses and Inspection Windows
  • Actuator and Valve Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation which can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Use appropriate cleaning agents; harsh chemicals can cause crazing or discoloration.
