Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate where flame retardant properties are required.Specify and procure flame retardant (FR) grade polycarbonate sheets for applications where fire safety codes are stringent.
Improper fastener selection leading to cracking.Utilize fasteners designed for plastic, or use washers to distribute load and prevent concentrated stress points during installation.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • Lighting Diffusers & Covers
  • Machine Guards & Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis and chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • While impact resistant, avoid sharp impacts or excessive localized stress during handling and installation.
