Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic cutting tools which can cause cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting specifically designed for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts without stress fractures.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress points and potential failure.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and consider using rubber washers to distribute pressure and accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective guards for lighting fixtures
  • Enclosures for electrical components
  • Light diffusers and lenses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
