Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-temperature electrical applications.Specify polycarbonate grades with enhanced thermal stability and flame retardant additives suitable for elevated operating temperatures.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Utilize washers and tighten fasteners incrementally, ensuring even pressure distribution and allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Panels
  • Machine Guarding & Safety Shields
  • Protective Lighting Covers & Domes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation for enclosed electrical components to prevent heat buildup, which can exceed the polycarbonate's thermal limits.
