Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-voltage applications without verifying dielectric strength.Consult the material's datasheet or contact a technical specialist to confirm suitability for specific voltage requirements.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress cracking.Maintain adequate edge distances when drilling holes, and consider using pilot holes for larger fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Lighting Diffusers
  • Machine Guards
  • Instrument Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as it can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Use appropriate cutting tools and techniques to prevent chipping or cracking during fabrication.
