Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic cutters which can cause chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as a fine-tooth saw or a router with appropriate bits.
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential delamination or fracture.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure evenly. Tighten only until snug.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Lighting Diffusers and Covers
  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Shields
  • Instrument Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to continuous temperatures exceeding 265°F (129°C).
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions and certain organic solvents as they can degrade polycarbonate.
