Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Employ flat, wide washers with all fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Cutting or drilling polycarbonate with dull tools, resulting in chipped edges and poor finish.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped cutting and drilling tools specifically designed for plastics to achieve clean cuts and smooth holes.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Machine Guarding
  • Light Diffusers and Fixtures
  • Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the sheet is UV-stabilized, as this can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface; mild soap and water are recommended for cleaning.
