Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic cutting tools which can cause chipping and cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as fine-tooth saw blades or laser cutters for clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential fracture.Employ appropriate washers and allow for thermal expansion by not over-torquing fasteners. Pre-drilled holes should be slightly larger than the fastener diameter.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • Machine Guarding
  • Lighting Diffusers and Covers
  • Signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings as it may lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents or abrasive cleaners which can damage the polycarbonate surface.
