Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized polycarbonate cutting tools to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and panels
  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Lighting fixtures and diffusers
  • Protective barriers and screens

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without a UV-protective coating, as this may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
