Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using sharp or abrasive tools for cutting, which can cause micro-cracks.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for plastics, such as a fine-tooth saw or laser cutter, and ensure proper support during cutting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking or deformation.Use fasteners with washers to distribute pressure and tighten them only until snug. Consider oversized holes or slotted holes for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Electrical insulation barriers
  • Protective covers for electrical components
  • Light diffusers and lenses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
