Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, burr-free edges and to prevent thermal stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Employ oversized holes with washers or gaskets to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, and hand-tighten fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Pressure vessel sight glasses
  • Temperature control system components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings or films, as degradation may occur.
