Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ carbide-tipped blades or laser cutters specifically designed for polycarbonate to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential sheet failure.Utilize washers with fasteners and avoid over-tightening. Allow for slight thermal expansion by not securing the sheet too rigidly across its entire surface.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • Machine Guards and Safety Shields
  • Lighting Diffusers and Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions, aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, as these can degrade polycarbonate.
  • When cutting or machining, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, to prevent injury from sharp edges or debris.
