Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cutting tools that can cause micro-cracking.Utilize fine-tooth blades designed for plastics or laser cutting for a clean, precise edge.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque; allow for thermal expansion by not fully constraining the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Covers
  • Machine Safety Guards
  • Light Diffusers & Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to degradation.
  • Use only mild cleaning agents; harsh chemicals can damage the polycarbonate surface.
