Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for plastic cutting to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks around mounting points.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic control panel enclosures
  • Machine guarding for pneumatic machinery
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, which can degrade the material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or heating polycarbonate to avoid inhalation of fumes.
