Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saw blades designed for plastic to achieve clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential delamination or cracking.Employ washers and allow for thermal expansion by not overtightening fasteners; consider slotted holes for larger panels.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty shipping enclosures
  • Protective packaging for sensitive equipment
  • Machine guards and safety barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline cleaning agents, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to prolonged contact with certain solvents, which can cause crazing or stress cracking.
