Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saws with fine teeth specifically designed for cutting plastics. Lubrication may be required.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress concentrations and lead to crazing or cracking.Employ washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by using slightly oversized holes.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Panels
  • Machine Guarding
  • Lighting Covers and Diffusers
  • Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to chemical attack from certain solvents; consult a chemical compatibility chart before use.
