Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to melting or chipping.Utilize sharp, specialized cutting tools for polycarbonate, such as carbide-tipped saw blades or routers, and maintain appropriate feed rates to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks around mounting holes.Drill oversized holes and use washers to distribute pressure evenly. Avoid overtightening fasteners; tighten them only until snug.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Covers
  • Lighting Diffusers and Lenses
  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can craze or damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating or working with polycarbonate to avoid inhalation of fumes.
