Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or tools to prevent chipping, cracking, or excessive heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Use washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion and contraction by using appropriately sized clearance holes.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Panels
  • Lighting Diffusers and Covers
  • Machine Guarding and Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the sheet is UV-stabilized, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the surface or optical clarity of the polycarbonate.
