Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize a fine-tooth blade on a circular saw or a specialized plastic cutting blade to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress and potential cracking.Employ washers and avoid overtightening screws. Leave a slight expansion gap if installing in extreme temperature variations.

Common Applications

  • HVAC system enclosures
  • Machine guards for cooling equipment
  • Glazing for climate-controlled structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and fabrication to dissipate heat and prevent material degradation.
