Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or saws with fine teeth for a clean, precise cut.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress and cause the polycarbonate to crack.Employ washers and avoid direct contact with the sheet; allow for slight expansion and contraction by not overtightening.

Common Applications

  • HVAC ducting and enclosures
  • Machine guards for cooling equipment
  • Insulating panels in heated systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when used in high-temperature applications to prevent thermal degradation.
