Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper washers.Employ large-diameter washers to distribute pressure and prevent localized stress on the polycarbonate surface.
Cutting or drilling without proper technique, leading to edge chipping or cracking.Utilize sharp, specialized cutting tools and drill bits designed for plastics, and maintain a consistent feed rate.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Lighting Shields and Guards
  • Machine Guarding for Electrical Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline or acidic cleaning agents, as they can degrade the polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the material to prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding its recommended service range, as this can lead to deformation.
