Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as fine-tooth saws, laser cutters, or routers designed for plastics.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential failure of the polycarbonate.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when securing polycarbonate components. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder guards
  • Machine enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically rated, as it can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Use caution when cleaning; abrasive materials or harsh solvents can scratch or damage the surface.
