Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to avoid chipping, melting, or cracking.
Improper fastening causing stress concentrations.Employ oversized holes and compressible washers when fastening to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress cracking.

Common Applications

  • HVAC system enclosures
  • Insulated ductwork components
  • Glazing for climate-controlled structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid direct contact with strong solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject to prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's recommended maximum operating range.
