Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Improper fastening leading to stress cracks.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and protective enclosures
  • Lighting diffusers and lenses
  • Electrical panel covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can scratch or damage the surface.
