Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate cutting tools that can cause chipping or delamination.Utilize sharp, fine-toothed blades specifically designed for cutting plastics, such as a circular saw with a fine-tooth carbide blade or a jigsaw with a plastic cutting blade.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Employ washers and do not fully tighten fasteners until all are in place. Leave a slight gap and tighten incrementally to allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective enclosures for electrical components
  • Light diffusers and covers for industrial lighting
  • Machine guards and safety shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged contact with solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid excessive heat sources that may exceed the material's thermal limits.
