Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized cutting tools designed for plastics, such as a high-speed steel blade with a fine tooth pitch, or a laser cutter for precise, chip-free edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Tighten fasteners gradually and ensure they are snug rather than excessively torqued.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosure Fabrication
  • Sight Glasses and Inspection Covers
  • Protective Shields for Pneumatic Actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain solvents, as polycarbonate can be attacked.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive heat, which can lead to distortion or degradation.
