Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped blades and drill bits specifically designed for cutting and drilling polycarbonate to prevent chipping and cracking.
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress and potential failure.Utilize washers and allow for thermal expansion by not overtightening fasteners. Consider slotted holes for larger installations.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding with integrated temperature monitoring
  • Enclosures for pressure-sensitive equipment
  • Transparent covers for high-temperature components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to temperatures exceeding the manufacturer's recommended service limit for prolonged periods.
