Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic where high impact is required.Specify polycarbonate for applications demanding superior impact resistance and durability, especially in industrial settings.
Improper cutting techniques leading to stress cracks.Utilize sharp, specialized cutting tools for polycarbonate and maintain appropriate feed rates to prevent micro-fractures.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic enclosure fabrication
  • Machine guarding and sight windows
  • Protective covers for control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Use appropriate cleaning agents; abrasive cleaners or solvents can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.
