Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners causing stress cracks.Use washers and allow for thermal expansion with slightly looser fasteners.
Using standard abrasive cutting tools that can melt or chip the polycarbonate.Employ specialized blades designed for plastics, such as a fine-tooth carbide-tipped saw blade, and maintain a consistent feed rate.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Panels
  • Machine Guards
  • Lighting Covers & Diffusers
  • Protective Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads that may scratch the surface.
