Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools or techniques like laser cutting to achieve clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and do not overtighten mechanical fasteners; allow for slight thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Machine Guards
  • Lighting Fixture Lenses
