Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can cause stress concentrations.Utilize oversized holes and rubber washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing cracking.
Cutting or drilling without proper support, leading to chipping or delamination.Support the sheet adequately during fabrication and use sharp, high-quality cutting tools designed for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty protective packaging
  • Custom shipping enclosures
  • Impact-resistant machine guards for packaging equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
