Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to localized stress concentrations.Employ wide-diameter washers with all fasteners to distribute load evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Cutting or drilling without proper support, causing chipping or cracking.Support the polycarbonate sheet adequately during cutting and drilling operations, and use sharp, specialized tooling for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards
  • Electrical control panel covers
  • Lighting diffusers and lenses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coating, as it may lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.
