Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic cutting tools which can cause chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as fine-tooth carbide-tipped blades for saws or laser cutters.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure, tightening only until snug.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Machine Guarding
  • Lighting Diffusers and Fixtures
  • Safety Glazing
  • Instrument Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

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