Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Employ tools with a high tooth count and appropriate speed settings for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, inducing stress points that can lead to premature cracking.Use washers and allow for slight expansion and contraction by not overtightening screws or bolts. Consider slotted holes for larger sheets.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards in industrial settings
  • Light fixture covers and lenses
  • Electrical panel enclosures and windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject to continuous temperatures exceeding its rated limit to prevent deformation.
