Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastic sheeting. Maintain a consistent feed rate.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress and cause the polycarbonate to crack over time.Employ washers and hand-tighten fasteners until snug. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by using slotted holes where possible.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Machine Guarding
  • Lighting Covers
  • Safety Glazing
  • Display Cases

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May scratch if abrasive materials are used for cleaning. Use only non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or chlorinated hydrocarbons, as these can degrade polycarbonate.
