Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, specialized blades for polycarbonate to ensure clean cuts and prevent chipping or cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress-induced cracks.Employ appropriate spacing for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure evenly, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Machine Guards
  • Protective Lighting Covers
  • Industrial Sight Glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a UV-resistant coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Chemical compatibility should be verified for specific applications, as some solvents can affect polycarbonate.
