Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers or grommets.Utilize wide-head washers or specialized grommets to distribute load and prevent premature cracking of the polycarbonate around fastener points.
Cutting or drilling polycarbonate without proper cooling.Employ sharp tooling and adequate cooling (e.g., air jet) during cutting and drilling operations to prevent melting and chipping.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • Lighting Diffusers and Covers
  • Machine Guards for Electrical Equipment
  • Insulation Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the material to excessive mechanical stress during installation or operation.
