Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and ensure a clean edge.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Utilize washers and allow for slight thermal expansion by not fully tightening fasteners; consider slotted holes in mounting brackets.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Protective Machine Guards
  • Lighting Fixture Lenses and Diffusers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating or machining to avoid fume inhalation.
