Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or melting.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools like fine-tooth carbide saws or laser cutters for a clean, precise edge.
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and housings
  • Lighting fixture covers and shields
  • Machine guards for electrical equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline chemicals, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or haze the surface.
