Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as fine-tooth saw blades or laser cutters for clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracks or deformation.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for thermal expansion by not seating fasteners too tightly.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Panels
  • Machine Guarding for High-Impact Areas
